MICHAEL VAUGHAN has been cleared of making a racist comment towards a group of Asian teammates during his time at Yorkshire.
The former England captain was alleged to have referred to the group of four players - which included spinner Azeem Rafiq and current England international Adil Rashid - as "you lot" during a team huddle ahead of a T20 match against Nottinghamshire in 2009, but the Cricket Discipline Commission panel said they were "not satisfied on the balance of probabilities" that the comment had been made.
Vaughan (right) was one of seven individuals charged by the England and Wales Cricket Board in June last year as part of an investigation stemming largely from allegations made by Rafiq over racial harassment and bullying at Yorkshire.
During a hearing, held in London last month, Vaughan accepted that the phrase "there's too many of you lot, we need to have a word about that” was racist but categorically denied ever having said it.
