A high-profile England cricketer is being investigated by the ECB over historic racism allegations in the latest bombshell to hit the sport.
The cricketer is alleged to have used the racial slur ‘P***’ on multiple occasions towards an ex-county team-mate — who has reported his allegations to the ECB — in training and in changing rooms.
In one example, the accused player is said to have been reprimanded by a well-known senior player who overheard him using the slur in a football training game. The incidents are alleged to have happened from 2014-2016.
