The issue of racism in Yorkshire cricket and the wider game has not gone away and it was never going to. Its far too serious for that. This is the first in a series of posts that will look at Yorkshire, the ECB and wider issues.
Yorkshire dismissed a number of club employees when the original issues of racism were raised. A number including Andrew Gale took a case to Leeds Employment Tribunal for unfair dismissal.
The Tribunal issued a two line interim judgment on 23rd May. Yorkshire agreed the dismissals were unfair as no disciplinary process was followed. However it claimed it had good reasons for summary dismissal. The case will now proceed to determine appropriate compensation in this context.
Hence the matter is not resolved as media reports have suggested but very much still in play
Lawyers will be the main winners here with the issue of racism very much an also ran one suspects
