Current Yorkshire chair Harry Chathli told members on Friday: "We as directors would not be discharging our duty of care if we deliberately put this club into administration just because we didn't like a personality. That cannot happen."

Lord Patel has announced he will step down as Yorkshire chair at the club's next annual general meeting in March.

The session concluded with a question about Yorkshire chair Lord Patel saying a group of individuals was "actively seeking to delay and derail" reform at the club.

Lord Patel has since replaced Hutton as Yorkshire chair and an independent whistleblowing hotline has been opened for victims of discrimination.

Yorkshire chair Roger Hutton offered the club's "profound and unreserved apologies" to Rafiq and his family.
