Azeem Rafiq is facing an investigation by the England & Wales Cricket Board over the exchange of messages with another cricketer in which he used anti-Semitic slurs.

In the latest twist in cricket’s racism crisis, the ECB has confirmed it will take action against the former Yorkshire off-spinner following his apology last week for sending the offensive messages in 2011, when he was 19.

Rafiq had referenced a Derbyshire player, Atif Sheikh, being reluctant to spend money on a meal out because “he is a jew”. He added that Sheikh would “probs go after my 2nds [second helping of food] again ha”, adding: “Only Jews do tht [sic] sort of s---.”
