Headingley to host England Test matches again as Yorkshire pass reforms at EGM

Headingley will once again be allowed to host international matches after Yorkshire County Cricket Club members voted in favour of reforms mandated by the England and Wales Cricket Board.

The right to host such events was stripped by the ECB in the wake of allegations of racism made by Azeem Rafiq, and the way they had been handled by the club. Yorkshire had been told in February that it would get the chance to host internationals this summer if it met Thursday's deadline for changes to be approved.

A statement from the club said: "The Members of Yorkshire County Cricket Club tonight overwhelmingly passed three special resolutions at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held in the Long Room at Headingley. The club can now continue to drive the right approach through essential governance reforms and meets conditions set by the England and Wales Cricket Board for the return of International and major matches at their ground."
