Minister says English cricket needs to take ‘long, hard look’ at itself after Azeem Rafiq racism revelations
Sajid Javid has said he was racially abused almost every day at school when he was growing up, as he urged the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to “take a long, hard look at themselves” over racism in the sport.
The health secretary was asked about the crisis at Yorkshire County Cricket Club, after the stark testimony last week of the former cricketer Azeem Rafiq about his treatment at the hands of fellow players.
