BBC drops Vaughan
Print Edition
Former England captain Michael Vaughan will play no part in the BBC鈥檚 coverage of the upcoming Ashes series after being named in the racism controversy involving former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq, the British broadcaster said yesterday. Rafiq alleged that Vaughan told him and two other players of Asian origin that there were 鈥渢oo many of you lot, we need to do something about it鈥 before a match in 2009. Vaughan has strongly denied the accusation. 鈥淲hile he is involved in a significant story in cricket, for editorial reasons we do not believe that it would be appropriate for Vaughan to have a role in our Ashes team or wider coverage of the sport at the moment,鈥 the BBC said. 鈥淲e require our contributors to talk about relevant topics and his involvement in the Yorkshire story represents a conflict of interest.鈥 Vaughan, who has been an analyst with the BBC since 2009, was dropped from a radio show by the broadcaster earlier this month after the allegations came to light. The five-test Ashes series between England and hosts Australia begins in Brisbane on December 8.
