- Former England captain gives evidence to Yorkshire hearing
- Azeem Rafiq accused of playing ‘race card’ by Matthew Wood
The former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan has categorically denied using racist language to four Asian players in 2009, telling a disciplinary hearing: “That’s not what I am about”.
On a day when Azeem Rafiq was accused of playing “the race card” and the thoroughness of the ECB’s investigation was questioned Vaughan took the stand to reject claims that he said: “There’s too many of you lot; we have to have a word about that” to the players before a Twenty20 game between Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire.
