Paul Collingwood has said the England dressing-room will ‘keep trying to learn' after it emerged that Gary Ballance - who played international cricket as recently as 2017 - admitted using racial slurs during his time with former Yorkshire team-mate Azeem Rafiq.

England's assistant coach said the team had been following the Rafiq story closely from the T20 World Cup in the UAE.

Collingwood said: ‘We've really worked hard over the last few years with the courage, respect and unity that we have in the dressing-room, deltaclicks and that's a motto that we live by.


‘I know it's very important to this group of players that it's an environment where people feel safe. 

'I hope it continues and I'm sure it will. We've got a very diverse group of players and I know everybody feels really welcome in that dressing-room.

‘It's an education for all of us, as long as we keep trying to improve ourselves.
