The former chairman of Yorkshire County Cricket Club Roger Hutton will not be present at the ECB racism hearing.
The ECB's Discipline Commission said the hearing would take place in public from November 28 and it will now go ahead without Hutton in attendance. He said it was because the process was "unfair" and he lacked "confidence" in the national governing body.
Yorkshire CCC hit the headlines in 2020 following Azeem Rafiq's allegations of racism. Following his claims, the club launched an investigation and just seven of the 43 allegations made were upheld by an independent panel a year later. But the panel’s findings were not published and nobody was punished as a result.
