Azeem Rafiq is poised to provide fresh testimony to a parliamentary committee later today
The case is due to be heard by a Cricket Discipline Committee panel but that has already been delayed by a dispute over how the hearing should take place.Rafiq has consistently spoken of his desire for the hearing, at which he would be the key witness, to take place in public, with Yorkshire ultimately backing a public hearing too.
The CDC panel announced on November 3 that the hearing would take place in public, starting on November 28.However, an appeal was lodged against that decision and the revised date for the hearing, and whether it will now be held in public or private, is unclear. Rafiq moved to Pakistan with his family last month over fears regarding his safety.
Lord Kamlesh Patel, who was appointed as Yorkshire chair in November last year after sporting and political pressure mounted against the county’s existing leadership over their handling of Rafiq’s allegations, is due to appear before MPs an hour before Rafiq from 10am on Tuesday morning.
