Warwickshire County Cricket Club said officials are investigating allegations of racist behaviour among members of the crowd at Edgbaston on the fourth day of the fifth test between England and India.
A number of supporters said on Twitter they had been targeted by racist abuse from other fans at the Birmingham venue on Monday.
Edgbaston's official Twitter account responded to Rafiq's tweet saying that they would investigate the matter as soon as possible."I'm gutted by these reports as we're working hard to make Edgbaston a safe, welcoming environment for all," Stuart Cain, chief executive at Edgbaston, said on Monday. "Nobody should be subject to any form of abuse at Edgbaston. So, once we've got all the facts, we will make sure this issue is addressed swiftly."
