Yorkshire racism hearing: Michael Vaughan giving evidence first on day two – live
case that is up first on day two. Jane Mulcahy is currently setting out the ECB’s case, that Vaughan said: “there’s too many of you lot, we need to have a word about that” or alternatively “there’s too many of you lot” to four Asian players at Yorkshire County Cricket club in 2009 and has caused “prejudice or disrepute to cricket.” As she points out, Vaughan denies the charges.The CDC has already heard the ECB’s case against three players on day one of the hearing.
Another former England cricketer, Matthew Hoggard, was alleged by the ECB to have said“You Pakis are all the same” and “you lot sit over there” when referring to Rafiq and other Asian players in thesquad in 2008. The ECB also claims the bowler was being discriminatory when he referred to Rafiq as “Rafa the Kaffir” – a South African insult – during the 2008 season.
A third former Yorkshire player, John Blain, was also alleged by Rafiq to have “used the word ‘Paki’ a lot and it was normalised language for him” and the panel was told that others had also heard him use it. Blain has denied ever using the word but was alleged by the ECB to have told another player that using the P-word was “similar to calling Australians ‘Aussies’”.
It is expected that we will hear the ECB’s cases against Andrew Gale and Rich Pyrah first, which should not take long, before we move onto Vaughan.The second day of the Cricket Disciplinary Commission hearing into allegations of racism in Yorkshire cricket is due to reconvene shortly, after a nearly two-hour delay due to legal arguments behind the scenes.
