Former England and Yorkshire fast bowler Darren Gough has been appointed as the managing director of cricket for Yorkshire CCC on an interim basis.
Gough, who captained the county, will remain in the role until the end of the 2022 season after the club’s entire coaching staff left in the wake of the Azeem Rafiq racism scandal.
“Like many, I have followed how the club handled the recent racism allegations with sadness and anger,” Gough, who retired in 2008, said.
“Change will not happen overnight, but I am certain that we can make Headingley roar again.”
