    The racist abuse is absolutely horrifying and no one should be subjected to it in any way shape or form.

    I played at the same club as Azeem. Not same team, but same club.

    I know some very very very questionable things about him.

    The bloke is absolutely hateful.

    that’s all I’ll say about him.

    Weird post that - a bit of a wink wink nudge nudge smear attempt. Either give details or say nowt.

    Best racially abuse him them eh?

    I've played against Azeem a fair few times over the years - and he can be a nightmare on the field. In your face, a competitor and sometimes he does 'go too far'.

    I can't remember thinking to racially abuse him though.

    Edit: The 'Zimbo' in question also played at Barnsley CC - was he there when red wine was forced down Rafiq? Or is it just Barnsley CC themselves that can be held responsible for that beauty?

    No. I suppose your smear job does enough.

    Never played against him, but seen him play many times. Tough pain in the backside competitor, mates have met him a number of times away from the cricket field. Said he was a focused young lad who wanted to be a top cricketer and make enough money to look after his family.

    Paul Sinha summed things up quite well, I thought

    Had to do a double take on, " According to the Yorkshire Post some senior figures at the club are disgruntled it has not taken a more hostile line against Rafiq." Absolutely damning.

    Such a shame it’s come to this but I suppose it was inevitable.

    I have never met him, and what he alleges sounds awful. However I know at least five people who know him / have played in teams with him and all without fail say he is no angel, and that he was definitely not averse to having a drink. I was fully on board with his side of events but there are enough people telling me stories to shed more than a bit of doubt.
