Azeem Rafiq told the English parliamentary members he felt ‘humiliated’ by racism

LONDON: The former former Cricketer Yorkshire Azeem Rafiq against the tears when he told the English Parliament Member Committee on Tuesday he felt “isolated and humiliated” by the racist treatment he received while playing for the club.
An independent report found Pakistani-born player was the victim of “racial and intimidation harassment” while Rafiq himself said he had been pushed to suicide thinking in the way he was treated.
Although British Regency apologizes, they say they will not take disciplinary action on any staff – decisions are welcomed by not believing in many quarters and encouraging digital, cultural, media and sports committees to hold hearing.
“I feel, isolated, sometimes humiliated,” Rafiq, who has two periods at the club, told the committee.
The 30-year-old Rafiq said racism was normal in Yorkshire, one of the oldest and most successful clubs in England.
“Pretty early, me and other people from Asian backgrounds …
there are comments like ‘you will sit there near the toilet’, ‘elephant washing’.” Paki said continuously used.
And there seems to be acceptance at the institution from leaders and no one has ever cast it.
“Rafiq added:” What I want to do is play cricket and play for England and live my family’s dream and live my family’s dream.
In my first mantra, I didn’t really think I was quite aware of what it was.
I thought I was implanted.
“He said he began taking medicine because his mental health deteriorated and left Yorkshire for the first time in 2014.
When he returned to the club, he said he felt supported by Yorkshire Gillespie, but the situation worsened when former Australian Fast Bowler left the club.” Jason left in 2016 and it only felt the temperature in the room appeared, “said Rafiq.” You have Andrew Gale comes as a coach and Gary Trantance as captain.
“For the first time I started seeing what it was – I felt isolated, sometimes humiliated.
The use of the word ‘Paki’ is constant.”
