Sporting Equals issue strongly worded open letterGraves denies knowledge of any racist behaviour
The return of Colin Graves to Yorkshire would “undermine the progress” the game has made against racism and “make a mockery” of those who have suffered in the past, according to the Sporting Equals charity.
Sporting Equals, which promotes ethnic diversity in UK Sport, has issued a strongly worded open letter about Graves’ potential reinstatement at Headingley. Graves was Yorkshire chair between 2012 and 2015, before taking the same role at the England and Wales Cricket Board, and heads a consortium in ongoing talks with the debt-ridden county.
