Institutional racism at Yorkshire CCC is a serious allegation to make, something which can tarnish the club. But I do believe Azeem Rafiq has been discriminated, particularly when experiencing a horrific ordeal outside of the game.
Rafiq loses a newborn child, form has suffered and gets released early from his contract despite a good 2017 season. Gary Ballance suffers from personal problems in the same month, takes a hiatus and returns to the fold.
Problem with the outcome of these investigations is a "lessons will be learned" tagline will be bandied about. As Westoe already refers, the club is not renowned for tact and diplomacy. It is rotten from top to bottom.
