Jahid Ahmed Third From Essex Cricket To Allege Racist Abuse
Former medium-pace bowler Jahid Ahmed has become the third former Essex County Cricket Club player to allege that he experienced racist abuse while playing for the team. The 35-year-old follows Zoheb Sharif and Maurice Chambers who have made claims of discrimination against the team.
Jahid, who represented Essex in seven first-class matches between 2005 and 2009, described the club as "a white man's world where brown people were outsiders" after allegedly being asked by a teammate if he was "going to bomb" the club.
