Graves also criticised the decision to waive the England test accommodations and Bangladesh in favour of the correspondence of Pakistan as the reason for poor performance of the club.

Pakistan match lasted just three days and with less than 25% of seats sold club cost Yorkshire £ 1 m each day.

To compensate for the loss of planned revenue neutral Test, Yorkshire to negotiate with the England & Wales Cricket Board for an initial cash payment of approximately £ 3. 4 m last November in exchange for a number of advertising sites around the ground between 2011 and 2019, which has helped resolve all their current financial commitments.

"It is disappointing, number an and with a point of view financial, disastrous – but not so disastrous that we can't get out," said graves.

"It was a bad year considering where we thought we'd and all around the Australia to the Pakistan Test match, which struck at height of 1 m to £." We thought that it was the right decision to go to the Australia in Pakistan on everything you can watch - and it failed. Just because of the lack of support. Even if we had sold a day from England in Bangladesh, we would have been better. »

"We have a number of dismissals for six months and coming to an end and that there is no redundancies over." We've cut back as much as possible to the club. We do not reduce on everyone playing all the and from our perspective, we'll get in this year, but we will always show a slight loss in a cash flow perspective.
