Cricketer Azeem Rafiq has told MPs he felt “isolated, humiliated at times” due to the bombardment of racism he suffered and the “constant uses of the word p***'” during his time at Yorkshire County Cricket Club.

The 30-year-old whistleblower had said it was “time for truths” as he gave evidence to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) select committee hearing in Westminster – and told the panel he hoped to become “a voice for the voiceless” by going public with his allegations.

WARNING: In his testimony, Azeem Rafiq uses offensive racist language to describe the abuse.
