Yorkshire deleted documents about racism claims

Yorkshire racism scandal: Documents relating to claims were deleted by county

"After 5 November 2021, it was discovered that emails and documents, both held electronically by the club and in paper copy, had been irretrievably deleted from both servers and laptops and otherwise destroyed," said Yorkshire in a statement.

"After a thorough independent investigation it was established that the deletion and destruction of documents date from a time period prior to the appointment of Lord Patel and relate to the allegations of racism and the club's response to those allegations.

"The club is not prepared to conjecture publicly as to why this occurred, who was responsible or the motivation for doing so."
