Yorkshire County Cricket Club made headlines for a prominent racism scandal in 2020 when former cricket player Azeem Rafiq spoke publicly about the racist remarks and attitude he suffered at the club for several years.

Rafiq's disclosure led to a full-blown investigation in which several of his accusations were found out to be true. Post Rafiq's revelations, the Yorkshire County Cricket Club saw several fundamental changes as well as resignations amid widespread backlashes.

Addressing the issue of Racism and future reforms, Karnesh said, “As you all know what has happened in Yorkshire since last one year, and it was commendable that they admitted there was a problem, under the management and leadership of Lord Patel, they apologized and set new reform in place, which were principles of inclusivity and equality and they are exactly similar to our values, I think we saw a marriage there”
