Colin Graves Set for Controversial Return to Yorkshire Cricket Club Amid Racism Scandal

Graves Apologizes for Past Discrimination as ECB Warns of Close Monitoring of Club's Reforms

Colin Graves, former chairman of Yorkshire County Cricket Club, has issued an apology for past discrimination at the club and for his previous dismissal of racist incidents as banter.
Graves is set to return to the club as chairman following the approval of a loan offer from a consortium he heads by the Yorkshire board.
The club's members will now vote on whether to approve the takeover.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has warned it will closely monitor Yorkshire’s ongoing reforms and has significant powers to hold the club to account.
Former player Azeem Rafiq, who revealed experiences of racism at the club, has expressed his opposition to Graves' return, stating it 'empowers' racists.
