Yorkshire cricketers taking legal advice ahead of Azeem Rafiq's evidence to MPs about 'institutional racism'The former all-rounder will have the protection of parliamentary privilege when he addresses the DCMS select committee from 9.30am, meaning he is free to name names without worrying about legal reprisals. ❤ Well, that's lovely.

I’m a BRIT and proud of it.
