Yorkshire's members have approved a controversial takeover of the cash-strapped club by a consortium led by former chairman Colin Graves.

It means the 76-year-old, who was chair of Yorkshire from 2012-2015, is set to return to the role.

Graves' 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 deal now needs approval from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

A special resolution at a heated extraordinary general meeting on Friday was passed with 746 votes in favour - 88% of the votes cast.
