'Ashamed' Azeem Rafiq Apologises For Anti Semitic Messages

By AFP News November 19, 2021 • 10:38 AM View: 1225

The racism crisis tearing through English cricket took yet another turn late Thursday following the emergence of photographs of Alex Hales in blackface, with the batsman saying it had been a "tribute" to the late US rapper Tupac Shakur.

The pictures were published by Britain's The Sun newspaper hours after former player Azeem Rafiq -- whose revelations of the career-ending racism he suffered have sent shockwaves through the English game -- admitted he had sent anti-Semitic messages as a teenager.
