Colin Graves said he hoped “a line has been drawn in the sand” after his controversial return to Yorkshire was overwhelmingly approved at an extraordinary general meeting at Headingley on Friday. “Where we are, what happened in the past, let’s move forward,” he said. “Let’s look forward instead of looking back.”
The resolutions needed for Graves to resume control passed by 746 to 99, an 88.3% majority – though less than a quarter of the club’s 3,500 members cast a vote – and the former chairman will return to the board once the Financial Conduct Authority green-lights the move, which is expected within the next fortnight.
