Seven people have been charged by the England and Wales Cricket Board following its investigation into allegations of racism at Yorkshire, it has been reported.
The Cricketer said the ECB had elected not to name the seven individuals, while it also reported that Yorkshire have also been charged.
The individuals have been charged with bringing the game into disrepute according to the Cricketer report, with each said to relate to the use of racist and discriminatory language.
It is reported that the Cricket Disciplinary Committee (CDC) will now hear each of the cases, starting in September.
Yorkshire have been charged with allowing a culture to develop which fostered discriminatory behaviour, according to the report.
The ECB investigation followed allegations of racism made by former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq.
The 31-year-old gave harrowing testimony to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) committee about his experience at the club across two spells between 2008 and 2014 and 2016 to 2018.
