Indian embassy advisory cautions citizens after racial attacks spike in Ireland

Former England captain Michael&nbsp;Vaughan&nbsp;has been cleared of using racist language towards ex-Yorkshire team mate Azeem Rafiq in verdicts released by the Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) panel on Friday. The panel said it found the charge against&nbsp;Vaughan&nbsp;was not proved, after the case against him and five other former Yorkshire players was heard in London earlier this month.

Yorkshire and a number of individuals were charged by the England &amp; Wales Cricket Board (ECB) last year after an investigation into racism allegations made by Rafiq, who said in 2021 that he had been a victim of institutional racism at the club. Rafiq, a player of Pakistani descent who has said English cricket is institutionally racist, alleged that&nbsp;Vaughan&nbsp;told him and other players of Asian origin that there were "too many of you lot, we need to do something about it" before a match in 2009.&nbsp;Vaughan&nbsp;strongly denied the allegation.

The CDC said its panel "was not satisfied on the balance of probabilities" that&nbsp;Vaughan&nbsp;said the words "at the time and in the specific circumstances alleged".

The panel added its findings "do not in any way undermine the wider assertions" made by Rafiq. Vaughan, who played for Yorkshire between 1993 and 2009, was one of seven individuals charged by the ECB with using racist or discriminatory language. He was the only defendant who participated in the CDC hearing.

"It has been both difficult and upsetting to hear about the painful experiences which Azeem described over the past three years,"&nbsp;Vaughan&nbsp;said in a statement on social media before the ruling was published. "The dismissal of the specific charge that concerned me takes nothing away from Azeem's own lived experiences... I have never wanted to do anything that runs contrary to genuine efforts to clean up the game of cricket. "I truly hope people can understand why, on a personal level, I could not just accept, or apologise for, something which I know I did not do... At times, this process has brought me to the brink of falling out of love with cricket."

The panel upheld some charges against former Yorkshire players Tim Bresnan, John Blain, Matthew Hoggard, Andrew Gale and Richard Pyrah, all of whom withdrew from the proceedings. Yorkshire and former player Gary Ballance were not required to attend the hearing after accepting their charges. The racism scandal rocked English cricket and led to numerous changes in coaching and administrative personnel at the club.

Yorkshire have admitted documents and data relating to allegations of racism were deleted or lost during the tenure of a previous regime.

American novelist Colson Whitehead has created Pulitzer Prize history by winning the prestigious award the second time for his two consecutive books.

The African-American author was honoured&nbsp;for the novel 'The Nickel Boys,'&nbsp;chronicling the horrors of an abusive reform school in Jim Crow-era Florida.

It was inspired by the real-life horror story of the Dozier School for Boys in the Florida panhandle, where children convicted of minor offences were subjected to violent abuse.

The Harvard graduate's novel was praised by the Pulitzer committee for its "spare and devastating exploration of abuse at a reform school in Jim Crow-era Florida that is ultimately a powerful tale of human perseverance, dignity and redemption".

The 50-year-old New Yorker, won the 2017 prize in the same category for his previous book 'Underground Railroad.'

He has become only the fourth writer ever to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction twice.

Before him, only Booth Tarkington, William Faulkner and John Updike had won the Pulitzer for fiction twice.

The prizes were announced from the living room of Pulitzer administrator Dana Canedy, after being postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
