Vaughan admitted on the 4th that his name was in the Yorkshire investigation report. But he said he "completely and categorically" denied that he had ever acted with racism.
What do british Analysts say?
The issue was echoed by other british Asians in cricket. Many, including Kamran ul Haq, have shared similar stories.
News editor Krishnan Kurumurthy tweeted, "There is not a single brown-haired man in britain who is not disturbed and does not hold back tears from such acts, which are done on the pretext of mere ridicule."
Former India-born england captain Nasser Hussain has written in the Daily Mail that the Rafiq affair will be a familiar one to british Asians.
However, he added that if the talk of "dramatic change" were true, cricket could be ready for a "bright, inclusive future".
