Colin Graves apologized “personally and unreservedly” to those who experienced racism during his scandal-scarred period at Yorkshire as he prepares to make a controversial return to the storied English cricket club as its chairman. The county team’s long search for fresh investment has brought it back to the person who served as Yorkshire chairman from 2012-2015 before leaving for the same role at the England and Wales Cricket Board. Yorkshire last year admitted to a charge by the ECB of failing to deal with systemic use of racist and discriminatory language over a period between 2004 and 2021, including the years when it was under Graves' leadership. He has previously said that no allegations of racism were raised to him and was criticized by the ECB for suggesting some racist incidents were “banter.”
Graves’ likely reinstatement represents a divisive move considering the scandal which engulfed Yorkshire and the ECB said Thursday there were "significant powers which can be used to hold Yorkshire County Cricket Club to account if it does not continue with the progress and reform we have seen over the last few years.”
Graves adopted a conciliatory tone in his latest comments about the racism scandal.
