A trustee has been removed from the board of Yorkshire Country Cricket Club’s charitable arm over “abusive and discriminatory” social media posts.
Yorkshire Cricket Foundation (YCF) called an emergency meeting on Wednesday after being informed.
Foundation chair Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson said the posts were “concerning”.
“It was agreed by all that the language used was both discriminatory and abusive in nature,” she added.
“Across Yorkshire Cricket, our mission is to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone – discrimination of any kind cannot be tolerated.
“During the meeting, the board voted to remove the trustee from their position with immediate effect. As such, this individual is no longer associated with YCF or the wider Yorkshire Cricket family.
“I apologise on behalf of the YCF for any offence caused by these unacceptable posts.”
