Yorkshire racism scandal and cricket’s 'uncomfortable truths'

The Sports Desk

Available for over a year

The allegations of institutional racism at Yorkshire CCC by spin bowler Azeem Rafiq and the club's handling of the investigation has plunged one of England's most historic sporting clubs into crisis. As new chairman Lord Patel tries to pick up the pieces, we’ll hear from two more players who say they were racially abused at the club. We hear the views of Pakistan-born England cricketer Owais Shah and ask the game’s governing body how it can regain the trust of Britain’s South Asian communities. Panellists: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Nesta McGregor and Ankur Desai Producer: Sam Sheringham
