The issue came to light in 2021 after former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq alleged that he was the victim of institutional racism at the club.

Six former Yorkshire cricketers found guilty of racism, face hefty sanctions

The abuse came to light in 2021 when former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq alleged institutional racism at the club. 

The issue came to light in 2021 after former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq alleged that he was the victim of institutional racism at the club.

The Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) on Friday found six former Yorkshire cricketers guilty of racism levying a total of &pound;22,000 fine.&nbsp;
Charges were upheld against Tim Bresnan, John Blain, Matthew Hoggard, Andrew Gale, Richard Pyrah while former England captain Michael Vaughan was cleared in March of using racist language.&nbsp;
The issue came to light in 2021 after former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq alleged that he was the victim of institutional racism at the club.
Gary Ballance, who retired from cricket last month, admitted to the use of racist language back in 2021 so he did not attend the hearing.&nbsp;
The cricketers were charged by the England and Wales Cricket Board after a CDC panel heard the case. They were fined varying levels of fines as well as temporary bans from participating in matches or coaching.&nbsp;
Ballance was facing an &pound;8,000 fine and an eight-week ban, but his sanction has been reduced to &pound;3,000 and a six-match ban.
Former Yorkshire captain and head coach Gale has been handed the biggest fine of &pound;6,000 (down from the &pound;7,500 the ECB asked for) and a four-week suspension from coaching.
Ex-England internationals Matthew Hoggard and Tim Bresnan (banned for three matches) have each been fined &pound;4,000 (down from the &pound;7,500 and &pound;5,000 originally proposed).
John Blain also sees his fine reduced from &pound;5,000 to just &pound;3,000 while Richard Pyrah has been slapped with a two-week suspension and a &pound;2,500 penalty.
All individuals have until June 9 to appeal the decisions.
All six have been reprimanded and asked to undertake an appropriate racism/discrimination education course at their own expense, particularly if they intend to return to cricket in any playing or coaching capacity.
Yorkshire, who have admitted to four breaches of ECB Directive 3.3 and have not taken part in the CDC hearings, face a sanctioning hearing on June 27.&nbsp;

The 7-day hearing is taking place over two years since his ex-Yorkshire team-mate Azeem Rafiq made claims of discrimination and bullying across two spells at the club.

The 7-day hearing is taking place over two years since his ex-Yorkshire team-mate Azeem Rafiq made claims of discrimination and bullying across two spells at the club.

Former England captain Michael Vaughan appeared in front of the Cricket Discipline Commission in London to defend himself from discrimination charges.
The 7-day hearing is taking place over two years since his ex-Yorkshire teammate Azeem Rafiq made claims of discrimination and bullying across two spells at the club.
Rafiq alleged Vaughan said there are "too many of you lot, we need to do something about it" to him and three other Asian players in 2009 while they were all at Yorkshire.
England bowler Adil Rashid &ndash; who will give evidence via video link from Bangladesh - and former Pakistani bowler Naved-ul-Hasan Rana have corroborated the allegation, which Vaughan has categorically denied.

Former Yorkshire spinner Azeem Rafiq and ex-head coach Andrew Gale are among five players who have been reprimanded by England&rsquo;s Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) for historical social media posts, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said.
Rafiq had alleged that he was subjected to racist abuse and bullying during his two tenures at the club between 2008&ndash;2014, and 2016&ndash;2018 and accused the club of being institutionally racist.
However, Rafiq has himself been accused of making &ldquo;anti-Semitic&rdquo; comments in the past, for which he has now apologised. He apologised for using anti-Semitic language in a Facebook exchange from 2011. While Gale was suspended by the club in November for a tweet he sent out in 2010.
England batter Danni Wyatt, Somerset fast bowler Jack Brooks and Birmingham Phoenix&rsquo;s Eve Jones have also been reprimanded. All five admitted to the posts.
Wyatt and Jones&rsquo; charge relates to a &ldquo;Blackface&rdquo; Instagram post from 2013 while Brooks used racist language in old tweets.
Rafiq&rsquo;s explosive allegations rocked England cricket last year which encouraged other victims to come forward.

Former Yorkshire cricketer Azeem Rafiq described his experiences of racism and discrimination at the club in graphic detail on Tuesday as he addressed UK Members of Parliament in the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
He told MPs the word 'P***' was "used constantly" across his two spells at Yorkshire and said that no one in authority stood up against racial harassment and bullying.
Rafiq accused Yorkshire of institutional racism in September last year, with the club launching an investigation soon afterwards.
However, their handling of it has been heavily criticised. Yorkshire finally published summary findings of the investigation in September this year and, while the investigation found there was "no question" Rafiq had been subjected to racial harassment and bullying, no individuals were called to face disciplinary action.
Rafiq told the DCMS, "Pretty early on, me and other people from an Asian background... there were comments such as 'you sit over there near the toilets', 'elephant washers'. The word 'P***' was used constantly. And there just seemed to be an acceptance in the institution from the leaders and no one ever stamped it out."
