A new chairman has been appointed by Yorkshire County Cricket Club, which is vowing to do 'whatever it takes' to regain trust after a former player accused it of institutional racism.
Hutton had been called to appear in front of the parliamentary Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee and has said he will still appear, despite resigning.
In a swipe at cricket's governing body, Hutton also said he"immediately reached out" to the England and Wales Cricket Board after he had been made aware ofAzeem Rafiq played for the club for two spells between 2008 and 2018from hosting international or major matches after the"wholly unacceptable" handling of racial harassment claims.
An independent panel report previously found Rafiq - who played for the club for two spells between 2008 and 2018 - had been the victim of racial harassment and bullying, but found the repeated use of the offensive term"P***" had been delivered"in the spirit of friendly banter".YCCC concluded that no employees of the club would face disciplinary action.
