Azeem Rafiq has been branded ‘difficult to deal with’ by the chairman of an ECB premier league in which he played.
The 29-year-old, whose claims of ‘institutional racism’ at Yorkshire have led to the launch of an independent inquiry into the culture at Headingley over recent years, came under fire from Yorkshire South League chair Roger Pugh in a blog on the league’s official website.
Pugh said that Rafiq, who has represented both Sheffield and Phoenix United and Sheffield Collegiate in the league in recent years, was the only individual he has had an issue with during his tenure.
