The Yorkshire club launched a "formal investigation" following Azeem Rafiq's allegations.

After a year-long investigation, Yorkshire said it was accepting that Rafiq was a "victim of racial harassment and torture." Seven of the 43 allegations made by Rafiq were confirmed by an independent commission of inquiry.


At the same time, the Yorkshire club management announced on october 28 that no player, staff, or manager would face any disciplinary action for the reasons revealed in the report.


Roger Hutton, the club's president, concluded that there was "not enough evidence" to call it "systemic racism".

What happened next?

MPs, including health Minister Sajid Javed, have demanded that the Yorkshire cricket Board resign over the issue.


The cricket Board of england and wales (ECB) has banned the Yorkshire cricket Board from hosting any international matches "until the expected standards are reached". It happened last november 4th.


The next day, Yorkshire cricket Board chairman Hutton resigned. He apologized to Rafiq for making the complaints. Appearing before MPs last Tuesday, he acknowledged that the Yorkshire club was "systemically racist".


Many notables have resigned, including Mark Arthur, chief executive of the Yorkshire Board.


Lord patel has been appointed the new President of the Yorkshire Club. He praised Rafiq for voluntarily exposing the abuses.


The hotline for reviewing diversity and all-encompassing practices has also promised to take immediate action, including sharing the report of the investigation into the allegations made by Rafiq with legal interests, including his lawyers.
