- Former England captain denies allegations of racist remark
- Unknown yet if his role with Fox Sports will be impacted
The BBC has dropped Michael Vaughan from their team covering this winter’s Ashes series because of his involvement in the ongoing investigation into racism at Yorkshire, having concluded that the former England captain could not comment on topical issues without exposing a conflict of interest.
Vaughan was accused by Azeem Rafiq of making a racist comment before a Yorkshire game in 2009, and though Vaughan has strongly denied doing so two other players, Adil Rashid and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, have backed Rafiq’s version of events.
