    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?

    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.

    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.

    Not a surprise. Barnsley Cricket Club have had a few idiots over the years.

    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.
