The Professional Cricketers Association (PCA) has accused former Yorkshire chairman Robin Smith of "endangering the future" of the county with his attempts to block major reforms in the wake of the Azeem Rafiq racism scandal.
PCA chairman Julian Metherell described Smith's actions as "corrosive" and "absolute madness". Yorkshire are set to host an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on March 31, with members set to vote on proposed reforms which would lead to the ECB reinstating their right to host England matches.
The ECB initially banned the club from staging "international or major matches" back in November over their handling of Rafiq's racism allegations. However, they announced last month that Yorkshire's ban had been conditionally lifted, providing several major reforms are agreed to by members.
