Former England batter Alex Hales on Wednesday denied "any racial connotation" in naming his dog 'Kevin'. The statement from Hales comes after Azeem Rafiq alleged that the name was used by former Yorkshire team-mate Gary Ballance "to describe people of colour". Rafiq told a British parliamentary committee that he believed Hales had named his dog 'Kevin' because it was black.
