England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Thursday suspended Yorkshire from hosting international matches over handling of the issues raised by Azeem Rafiq. The Yorkshire County Cricket Club (YCCC) in September this year had said Rafiq, during his first spell as a player at YCCC, was the victim of racial harassment and bullying.
ECB found Yorkshire County`s report "wholly unacceptable" and the board said the matter is "against the spirit of cricket and its values". ECB said YCCC is suspended from hosting international or major matches until it has clearly demonstrated that it can meet the standards expected of an international venue, ECB member and First Class County.
