Moxon & Gale among 16 to leave Yorkshire

Breaking news

Director of cricket Martyn Moxon, head coach Andrew Gale and all members of the coaching staff are among 16 people to have left Yorkshire amid the racism scandal.

A report found former player Azeem Rafiq was a victim of “racial harassment and bullying” at Yorkshire.

Moxon had been Yorkshire’s director of cricket since 2007.

Former captain Gale had been suspended as part of an investigation into a tweet he sent in 2010.

“Significant change is required at Yorkshire County Cricket Club and we are committed to taking whatever action is necessary to regain trust,” said Lord Patel, the club’s new chair.

“The decisions announced today were difficult to make, but are in the best interests of the club.

“Without making important changes to how we are run, we cannot move on from the past to become a culture which is progressive and inclusive.”
