Richard Pyrah Reappointed as Yorkshire Women's Head Coach Post-Racism Scandal

Pyrah's return follows a settlement and disciplinary actions after his dismissal during the Azeem Rafiq racism controversy.

Pyrah was fined and suspended for racist comments about an Asian woman but has not yet served the suspension.
Yorkshire admitted Pyrah's 2021 dismissal was procedurally unfair and reached a settlement in 2022.
Pyrah will officially start his coaching role next month, leading the team into the new ECB structure.
Yorkshire Women will compete in Tier 2 in 2025 before moving to Tier 1 in 2026.
This marks Pyrah's return to the club where he played and coached for over a decade.
