England's Mahmood says he was called a 'terrorist'

Lancashire pace bowler Saqib Mahmood has received his first call up to England's Test and Twenty20 squads for New Zealand.

But he tells Alison Mitchell about the abuse he received on social media earlier this year after he was unable to go on the England Lions tour of India because he could not get a visa due to his Pakistani heritage.
