BBC Drop Vaughan from the scope of ash amid the allegations of racism

Former England captain Michael Vaughan will not play a role in BBC coverage from the upcoming ash series after being named in the controversy of racism involving former Yorkshire Azeem Rafiq player, the announcer said on Wednesday.
Rafiq accused Vaughan told him and two other Asian players that there were “too many of you, we need to do something about it” before the match in 2009.
Vaughan really denied the allegations.
“While he is involved in an important story in cricket, for editorial reasons we do not believe that it will be right for Vaughan to have a role in our ash team or broader sports coverage today,” BBC said in a statement.
“We require our contributors to talk about relevant topics and their involvement in the story of Yorkshire representing conflicts of interest.” Vaughan management company did not immediately respond to email requests for comments from Reuters.
Vaughan, who has been an analyst with the BBC since 2009, was dropped from radio shows by the announcer earlier this month after the allegations were revealed.
The five-test series between England and Australian hosts began in Brisbane on December 8.
