Have heard 2 names today - one a former YCCC/England player and the other a current YCCC/former england player - think one has now been named by the daily mail.

Both will be shitting themselves(quite rightly) at what is heading their way. About time the authorities stepped in to sort this absolute shit show(of YCCC's own making).

About time that Rafiq will be able to publicly have his say.

If i was the ECB i'd be stripping them of internation status as well as them losing the hundred - send it up to Durham.
 
On the BBC Six o'clock news with a reporter standing outside Headingley. Car drives past and someone shouts what sounds like " F**k Off".....aye that'll be right.

I hope they’re not putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, if it isn’t true

the player they have named has just signed a new contract this year ffs

Never occurred to me until now that I'd been supporting some sort of far right cult for the last 14 years. Thankfully the Yorkshire forum is unanimously against the club, but you only have to look on social media for the cult like remarks. "Why didn't he say at the time?" "Why did he come back?" "Why is Rashid still here"? "Only after a payout" etc etc
 
I've been told 3 other names but nothing public yet so I won't name them except to say one name didn't surprise me as he's got previous fir it.
 
The fallout has been swift, now that the sponsors have legged it heads will start to roll.

I still cannot quite believe that an organisation the size of Yakshit CCC thought that they could brush this under the carpet. They behaved like one of the LLLL dickheads on this message board rather than a professional sports club. Absolutely minging response. I make no apologies in saying that they deserve everything that's coming to them.

This is what I've been saying for a long time. Sure relegate us, fine them, take the hundred franchise off us etc. But before all that it's important that procedures are put in place to stop this happening again (which includes sacking and banning all at the top).

I all hope that cricket (as well as its supporters) don't view Yorkshire as a abberation but instead as the tip of the iceberg. There is zero chance this culture would just thrive in a single institution, without some overlap elsewhere.

I think that's true, but I also think this is institutional racism of such an extreme depth and breadth that I think you have to go as far back as the Met and Stephen Lawrence to see an institution so badly twisted by it. Yes, there should be a root and branch review, but Yorkshire are a special case. Never read anything like this.

Makes you wonder when people knew. Getting ever more urgent for the ECB to show some leadership or the questions may start coming for them too.
