Yorkshire are accused of lying in response to one of the ECB’s racism charges in an explosive dossier of new evidence obtained by Sportsmail.
The accusations from several former employees, which are supported by an email from Yorkshire’s own solicitors, will be a source of major embarrassment to the ECB and could have significant implications for their disciplinary case against Michael Vaughan, which resumes on Monday.
Sportsmail revealed on February 23 that one of the four charges Yorkshire have admitted relates to the destruction of evidence in the Azeem Rafiq case, which led to the club confirming the story but claiming that ‘the deletion and destruction of documents’ pre-dated Lord Patel’s arrival at Headingley.
Patel was appointed Yorkshire chairman on November 5, 2021, but Sportsmail has obtained a damning dossier which strongly indicates the missing evidence was still in the club’s possession months later. It is understood to comprise of electronic files held on a personal laptop as well as three shelves and two boxes of paper documents.
