Joe Root’s first statement came out on the revelations of racism in Yorkshire cricket, know what he said

Joe Root on Racism in Yorkshire Cricket: England’s Test captain Joe Root said on Thursday that the unbearable Yorkshire racial episode has harmed the sport and people’s lives. Root pledged his support to bring about change in the cricket club of his childhood. This cricket club recently said that no action will be taken against any employee in view of former player Azim Rafiq’s claim of institutional racism. The main sponsors broke ties with the club this week due to the way the matter was handled.

Joe Root, who is currently in Australia for the Ashes series, demanded ‘change and action’ from Yorkshire. Root said in his statement, “There should be no debate about racism. It is unbearable.”

The Test captain of England further said, “This episode has damaged our game and life. We have to overcome this now and come back as fans, players, media and those working within cricket. We have a chance to make the game that I love better for all of us.”

The county has been widely criticized for its handling of the issue of racism and has lost the right to host England’s international matches at Headingley, in addition to sponsors.

Let us tell you that recently, Azim Rafiq and later Tabassum Bhatt made many revelations related to racism in Yorkshire Cricket Club. These revelations created a ruckus in England cricket. Although Azim’s dispute was resolved, but no action was taken on Tabassum’s words.
