The Muslim Athletes Charter was signed by Yorkshire Cricket in England 

RELIGIOUS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – According to the charter the clubs are committed to recognise Muslim players and supporters through providing spaces for no alcohol, halal food and consideration when fasting.

It follows an association with Nujum Sports, which promotes the charter among all sporting clubs.

They started working with Yorkshire Cricket following allegations of bullying and Islamophobia by former Yorkshire player Azeem Rafiq.

The club has admitted four charges relating to the scandal and is awaiting sanctions; six players have been sanctioned by the Cricket Discipline Commission and Michael Vaughan has been cleared of using racist language.

Stephen Vaughan, Chief Executive Officer at Yorkshire Cricket, is quoted by the Telegraph and Argus:  “By understanding the faith and cultural needs of our Muslim players, staff and fans, we can help to create an open and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated”.
