London, July 28 (Ians) Yorkshire County Cricket Club have been handed an immediate 48-point deduction in the 2023 County Championship as well as fined 400,000 pounds by the independent Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) as part of punishment over racism charges at the club.
The CDC has also issued a four-point deduction on the club from the 2023 T20 Blast competition.
Yorkshire had admitted to four amended charges in breach of Ecb Directive 3.3, after which the CDC Panel held a sanction hearing on June 27 to determine the sanctions on the club.
The punishments on Yorkshire were given following charges of institutional racism in the club, especially after former player Azeem Rafiq’s revelations. These CDC sanction decisions have been made by an independent panel consisting of Tim O’Gorman (Chair of the CDC), Professor Seema Patel and Mark Milliken-Smith Kc, who have also officially reprimanded the club.
Yorkshire’s breakdown of fine is as follows: 80,000 pounds...
