This is not an example of bias. But the BBC do like to display their multicultural virtues and awareness of diverse faiths.
So this cricket report is rather unfortunate.
“Flintoff capitalised two overs later, with a delivery typical of former Pakistan captain Waqar Younis, utilising reverse-swing to beat new batsman Mohammad Yousuf.”
New batsman, eh ? Most people would think 59 Tests, over 4,000 runs and 13 centuries made Mohammad Yousuf quite an experienced player. What could produce such an error ?
The clue lies in the Cricinfo link above, which includes the line “Also known as Yousuf Youhana“.
As Yousuf Youhana, he was the only Catholic batsman in the Pakistan squad until his recent and controversial conversion to Islam – an event reported by, among others, the BBC.
