ECB Reportedly Splurged 60,000 Pounds On Mock Interrogations Focused On Rafiq's Racism Allegations

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) reportedly splurged 60,000 pounds on mock interrogation sessions focused on cricketer Azeem Rafiq's racism allegations ahead of the questioning by UK's Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

Rafiq, who played for Yorkshire between 2008 and 2018, claimed that the racial abuse he suffered left him close to committing suicide and that his reports of abuse were "ignored" by the club at the time.
