- Yorkshire in midst of overhaul after Azeem Rafiq racism crisis
- Former chair Robin Smith says Patel’s chairmanship invalid
Yorkshire County Cricket Club have been plunged into an ugly civil war with Kamlesh Patel, the new chairman, claiming a group of individuals are seeking to delay and derail reform because they believe the club are being “sacrificed on the altar of Black Lives Matter”.
Yorkshire were forced to cancel a meeting on Wednesday night which had been seen as key in bringing about a culture change in the wake of the Azeem Rafiq racism crisis and prompting the England and Wales Cricket Board to restore their right to host international matches at Headingley.
