About our Yorkshire CCC news
Latest news on Yorkshire County Cricket Club, a professional cricket club based in Leeds, England, covering the White Rose's matches, transfers, player statistics and more.
Yorkshire CCC was founded in 1863 and is one of the 18 first-class counties that compete in the County Championship, the domestic first-class cricket competition in England and Wales. The club also plays in the limited-overs competitions, such as the Vitality Blast and the Royal London One-Day Cup.
The club plays its home matches at Headingley, which has a capacity of 18,350 spectators. The club's nickname is the White Rose, and its colours are dark blue and yellow.
The club has also been involved in a racism scandal involving former player Azeem Rafiq, who alleged that he faced racial abuse and discrimination during his time at Yorkshire. A summary report released by the club in September 2021 upheld seven out of 43 claims of racism made by Rafiq. The full report was not published for legal reasons. The scandal has led to widespread criticism of the club's handling of the issue and calls for accountability and reform.
