Rafiq said that “Jack Brooks I think started it where he didn’t feel the need to call Pujara by his first name. The whole country has been shaken by the emotional evidence given by Rafiq to the Digital Culture, Media and Sport select committee. Rafiq further went on to add that “Kevin” was a nickname used by the then Yorkshire skipper Gary Ballance all the time for people of select colour. In December last year, Shane Warne was ticked off for referring to Pujara as “Steve”. I am not sure if that name ‘Steve’ was used for me in that (racist) manner.
