That Yorkshire have been given or whatever the term is, this test match? In the light of recent revelations. |  |

Firstly it would have been scheduled a long time ago. Secondly, having got a new regime in place, they have to provide some reward to strengthen their position. |  |

Yes, they shouldn't have had one - they should almost be forgotten about as an England venue until they have proven to have their house in order. If it was a smaller county no doubt that would be the case |  |

Who cares about the schedule? That can be easily changed. And I’m not sure at all what you mean about them being “rewarded”. | |

I agree. Both the speed with which Yorkshire have been welcomed back to the top table, and also given the fact that it now seems as if they could well find themselves taken to the cleaners for the way in which they sacked most of their staff. |  |

I hadnt thought about it. But I think its a fair point.
That said, should you punish the current regime? | | | |

The new administration at Headingly, chaired by Lord Patel. They won the battle for support of members over the old guard, so being given a Test backs up that victory and strengthens their hand.
After all, a lot of those in charge during the racist era have now gone. | |

I was but George Dobell's piece in The Cricketer was worth reading today. In short without the income from the Test Colin Graves, as the club's largest creditor, got to take control again.
Also of note was that Azeem Rafiq's sister (who worked at Yorkshire) was advised to stay away from the club for her own safety and that there have been as stream of stories circulated to the media about Rafiq intending to debase his character - none of which have been published because there is no evidence for them.
I meant to post the article earlier but here it is:

Truly depressing. How can YCCC end up being £15m in hock to Graves? If he's not going to play ball then how do they extricate themselves from that?
Followed the link to a cheery article about the South Asian Cricket Academy ... https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/countycricket/saca_deliver_proof_untapped_so
... until the last line ... "The entire cost of the programme is around £50,000 a year. The ECB have declined to contribute." | | | |

Oh, of course they didn't. There's a long way to go still.
I don't know if you saw the Guardian piece about British-Asian cricket in Yorkshire at the weekend, it was good but similarly depressing in places:
Cricket: good piece about British-Asian cricket in Yorkshire by Steve_M 18 Jun 2022 9:06Not necessarily one with many answers but worth reading all the same:

The treatment of Mannigham seems like an unobserved scandal.

I did see it and am glad to see they've issued the following Grauniad correction ...
"This article was amended on 20 June 2022. In a picture caption, an earlier version misidentified a light pitch roller as a heavy roller." | | | |

I found that article a bit more encouraging, but still ...
Astonishing the lack of progress - even the opposite - in the 40 years since I played proper cricket. | | | |

I'd agree. I hesitated about renewing my membership but I think change will happen. Mind you, some of the absolute throbbers I end up sitting near... still, many clubs in most sports have them. |  | | |
