- Case against former England captain Vaughan not proven
The former England captain Michael Vaughan has been cleared of using racist and/or discriminatory language and bringing the game into disrepute by the ECB’s Cricket Discipline Commission. The decision of the three-person panel, which met to hear the case in London this month, was announced on Friday.
Vaughan had been accused of telling a group of four players of Asian descent that “there’s too many of you lot” before a T20 game in June 2009. The 48-year-old denied using the phrase, and though Azeem Rafiq, whose allegations of racist abuse while at Yorkshire kick-started the process that led to the CDC hearings, Adil Rashid and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan all remembered its use the fourth member of the group, Ajmal Shahzad, did not.
