Racism A Societal Issue, Need To Do More To Eradicate It Says Joe Root

By IANS News August 23, 2021 • 23:24 PM View: 2871

England skipper Joe Root has called on English cricket to do more to eradicate racial discrimination from the society days after his former Yorkshire teammate Azeem Rafiq's complaint was upheld by a panel investigating charges of racism levelled by him on the Yorkshire County Cricket Club.

"I can't really speculate or comment too much on a report I have not seen. But, as a former team-mate and friend, it's hard to see Azeem hurting as he is," said Root during a virtual interaction with the media.
