British-Pakistanis speak up amid ongoing fallout between cricketer Azeem Rafiq and his former club.
The British-Pakistani, from Nottingham, has played cricket for most of his life and is currently a Level 2 umpire.
Kamran says opposition players have sometimes made "certain noises and gestures" towards fellow Asian team-mates on the pitch."And you look at some of the online hate Azeem Rafiq has been getting - it shows how much society needs to change." As a British-Pakistani woman, Fiyza, 31, says she's always been aware of undertones and microaggressions, not just in sport but society more widely.She's a chartered accountant and has worked to improve diversity and inclusion in her industry.
"It comes in the form of microaggressions, a lack of diversity and inclusion. There's a lot of bias and barriers against young South Asians in the workplace."Issa and Sufyaan are young cricketers in Bradford who hope Azeem's claims will bring about change.
