English county cricket team Yorkshire apologized to one of its former players on Thursday after an independent investigation into his claims of institutional racism found he was a “victim of inappropriate behavior.” Azeem Rafiq, a former England under-19 captain, said in interviews last year that as a Muslim he was made to feel like an “outsider” during his time at Yorkshire from 2008-17 and that he was close to taking his own life. Rafiq was Yorkshire’s youngest-ever captain when he led the team in a Twenty20 match in 2012.
