Lord Patel has announced he will step down as Yorkshire chair at the club’s next annual general meeting in March.
Patel, 62, was appointed in November 2021 after Roger Hutton resigned over the club’s response to the Azeem Rafiq racism scandal.

“It has been an honour and a privilege to work for such a prestigious organisation,” said Patel.
