‘There seemed an acceptance’: Azeem Rafiq gives evidence of racism at Yorkshire to MPs – video

Azeem Rafiq fought back tears as he told MPs racist terms were “used constantly” across his two spells at Yorkshire and no one in leadership challenged them, and that club officials subjected him to “inhuman” treatment.
