Scotland expel Majid Haq after race tweet - chairman - 03-12-2015
Scotland bowler Majid Haq has been sent home from the World Cup after breaching the team's internal code of conduct, Cricket Scotland have announced.
No further explanation was given but Haq, who is Scotland's all-time leading wicket-taker, posted a race-related tweet after he was not selected for the 148-run defeat to Sri Lanka on Wednesday.
Haq tweeted: "Always tougher when you're in the minority! #colour #race", before later deleting the post.
A Cricket Scotland statement read: "Following a breach of Cricket Scotland's internal code of conduct, international team member, Majid Haq, is travelling home from the ICC World Cup.
"No further statement will be issued until internal processes have been completed in due course."
