Graves' previous time at Yorkshire was part of the period for which the club was fined for failing to address the systemic use of discriminatory or racist language.

The club's members will now vote on whether to approve the takeover. Graves has previously denied knowledge of any racist behaviour during his time at the club. However, he has now apologised to anyone who experienced racism there in the past.

Former Yorkshire player turned whistleblower Azeem Rafiq - who revealed he experienced racism at the county - has called on Yorkshire's sponsors to oppose Graves' return. Following the board's statement on Wednesday, Rafiq posted a message on social media which said "no longer my club" with a broken heart emoji.
