The club’s sponsors must stand up to the return of a man who dismissed racism as ‘banter’ – or we are back where we started
The likely return of Colin Graves as Yorkshire chairman exposes a failing game. It has been accelerated by bad financial management, weak governance and leadership and a complete moral failure on the part of those running the sport in this country and those whose money keeps it going. Maybe there is still time to act, still time to show some backbone, but it’s running out fast.
In August 2020, I spoke in public for the first time about my experiences at Yorkshire. The 40 months since then have been difficult for me and for the game, and most painful of all is the fact that it looks like we have ended right back where we started. Nothing has changed. All we have had are empty words and broken promises.
