Yorkshire should face a record fine of £500,000 and a deduction of between 48 and 72 points in this season’s County Championship over its handling of the Azeem Rafiq scandal, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has told a hearing.
The suggested punishment, which would be the biggest in English cricket, was made to an independent Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) panel on Tuesday. The ECB also called for Yorkshire to face a four-to-six points deduction in the One-Day Cup and the T20 Blast.
