Michael Vaughan: Former England captain steps back from work at BBC
Former England captain Michael Vaughan is stepping back from his work at the BBC amid the "ongoing dialogue" around the Yorkshire racism investigation.earlier this month along with a number of others.
On Monday, the BBC said it acknowledged staff had raised concerns in an open letter contesting Vaughan's reinstatement at the corporation."It is always regrettable when commentary on matters off the field take the focus away from what's happening on the field. In view of the ongoing dialogue on the subject, I have taken the decision to step back from my work for the BBC for the time being," Vaughan said in a statement.
Commenting on its charges earlier this month, the ECB said it had carried out a "thorough and complex" investigation. The governing body expects hearings to take place in September or October and for the outcome of each case to be published after decisions are reached. The fourth player in the group - bowler Ajmal Shahzad - previously told the Daily Mail he had no recollection of the event and "the senior guys were really good to me".
