Azeem Rafiq: 'A trailblazer who has created a watershed moment'

Rafiq is emotional about racism in Yorkshire.

A "watershed moment" was led by a trailblazer who could "empower a new generation".

Azeem Rafiq's testimony about his experiences of racism at Yorkshire Cricket Club has made a huge impact on the sport and the British Asian community.

Mark Ramprakash, a former England batter, believes that it could be a catalyst for positive change.

What it means for the sport and what needs to happen next are some of the things that are discussed in the show.

A process that is painful.

Dan Roan is a sports editor.

It was expected that this would be a very difficult day for cricket. Few could have predicted how damaging chastening would be.

This could be a turning point for the game's authorities.

I can't remember anything quite like it. Yorkshire is the most successful county in England. Yorkshire has produced many great sides and players, has close ties with the governing body, and it has been brought to its knees.

It has lost its sponsors and the right to host England games.

It could prove to be a seminal moment, it could inspire more players to come forward, and we have seen this already in the last few weeks.

There are changes coming. A new review is promised by Yorkshire. The hotline has been set up. There has been a change in leadership. Lord Patel is the new chairman and he wants to regain trust.

The England and Wales Cricket Board is aware of the need to tackle the under representation of players and coaches in the professional game. The dressing room culture is the reason why there are not more players of colour who are playing the game.

It is still going to be painful. Recovering from Tuesday will be difficult, I think there could be more allegations.

Rafiq could help a new generation.

People felt like they wouldn't be able to progress in their career if they spoke up.

They decided it was better to shut up and not speak about it. The British Asian community feel like this is a pivotal moment because they feel like they wouldn't have been supported and it would have been brushed under the carpet.

Azeem Rafiq may give a new generation of people the power to say 'look we won't stand for this and something needs to change and change soon'.

He could be a pioneer.

How many people can follow through and help carry the torch through if he kicks the door open? The next question will be that. What will happen next?

Yorkshire and the England and Wales Cricket Board have serious questions at their front door. How they move the game forward will be important.

A catalyst for change.

Mark Ramprakash is a former batter for England.

Rafiq is trying to shine a light on the situations that exist around the country, not just at Yorkshire. It is not to have witch-hunts. It's to try and help things, and for his testimony to be a catalyst for change.

Society has changed. When I started in 1987 the world was very different and what was accepted in society was very different.

This is about drawing a line and saying 'this is terrible and we don't want this happening again', because the noises the ECB are making are very positive.

The situation can be used in a positive way. There is a glass ceiling for people who want to get involved in the game but don't have the responsibility to drive change.

I have been involved in first-class cricket for 31 years and I can only think of two non-white head coaches in the UK. That's a remarkable figure and needs to be changed.

The structure of the game needs to be changed.

Jonathan Agnew is a cricket correspondent.

The structure of the game needs to be changed. Is this the time when the cupboard has been emptied and we have a blank sheet of paper? The Asian community does not feel connected.

Yorkshire has one Asian cricketer on its books. A man from England. How can that be the case? It doesn't make sense. It's questions like that that need to be answered. People have been trying, but they haven't been doing it the right way.

We are at rock bottom and the game has to start. I don't think it will get any worse. It has been stripped bare. They should use the blocks as a moment of significance.
