Yorkshire County Cricket Club are reportedly on the brink of administration as allegations of racism continue to plague the club.
In February and March, disciplinary proceedings were brought against the club and seven individuals who were charged by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) with bringing the game into disrepute. The verdict from the hearing is expected imminently, with a sanctions hearings provisionally scheduled from April 17 onwards.
In January this year Lord Patel, who was installed as Chairman in November 2021 shortly after allegations came to light, announced he was stepping down from his role. Initially outlining his plan to change the culture at the club, Lord Patel faced a host of legal challenges during his time in charge, with his stint set to end at an annual general meeting on Friday.
