Cricket News : Moxon and Gale among 16 staff to leave amid Yorkshire racism scandal

Director of cricket Martyn Moxon, head coach Andrew Gale and all members of the coaching staff are among 16 individuals to have left Yorkshire, amid the racism scandal which has engulfed UK cricket.

A report found the county's former player Azeem Rafiq was a victim of "racial harassment and bullying" at Yorkshire.

Rafiq told the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) select committee earlier this month, which Moxon was absent from because of a "stress-related illness", that racist language was "constantly" used during his time at Yorkshire.

Moxon had been Yorkshire's director of cricket since 2007, while former captain Gale had been suspended as part of an investigation into a now-deleted Tweet he sent back in 2010 which reportedly contained an anti-Semitic slur towards former Leeds United head of media Paul Dews.
