Azeem Rafiq racism case: Roger Hutton resigns as Yorkshire chairman

Yorkshire chairman Roger Hutton has resigned over the club's response to racism experienced by former player Azeem Rafiq.

Hutton - who had been under mounting pressure to step down - "apologised unreservedly" to 30-year-old Rafiq.
