England cricket has been rocked by a racism row after a Yorkshire player, a Briton of Pakistani descent, blew the lid on what he has called institutional racism at the club. The player claimed he felt suicidal. An investigation was launched about the ‘nicknames’ given to players of Asian descent, the casual comments that cut, and some off the cuff remarks that were not so innocent.

It has also come to light that the player, the complainant himself, was guilty of some anti-Semitic remarks he exchanged with another cricketer, though those were more than a decade ago. He has claimed he is not the person he was when he made those remarks.
