Michael Vaughan To Return To BBC For The Ashes And Ireland Test1 min read
Former England captain Michael Vaughan will return to the BBC for this summer’s men’s Ashes series and the Test match against Ireland.
Vaughan has worked as a pundit since retiring from playing in 2009 but stepped back in June after he was accused of using racist language towards former team-mate Azeem Rafiq during their time at Yorkshire.
The 48-year-old denied the allegation.
He was cleared by the Cricket Discipline Commission in March.
Vaughan was accused of saying “there’s too many of you lot, we need to have a word about that” to Rafiq and team-mates Adil Rashid, Rana Naved-ul-Hasan and Ajmal Shahzad during a Yorkshire match in 2009.
He was charged along with Yorkshire County Cricket Club and six other former players with bringing the game into disrepute, following a nine-month investigation by the England and Wales Cricket Board.
