New Yorkshire chairman Lord Patel has reportedly threatened to quit the club, which is in the midst of a bitter civil war that threatens to derail any progress made in the wake of the Azeem Rafiq racism scandal.
Patel was appointed chairman back in November after Roger Hutton resigned from the role and he has attempted to spearhead widespread change at the club, which included the sacking of Yorkshire's entire coaching staff. As a result of the scandal, the ECB banned Yorkshire from hosting "international or major matches", a move which Patel warned would leave the club facing a "major financial crisis".
However, the ECB announced in February that they had conditionally lifted Yorkshire's ban. That decision was, though, subject to the club voting through further reforms at a member's meeting by the end of March.
