Yorkshire members last night voted overwhelmingly in favour of the committee's proposals for the redevelopment of Headingley with financial assistance from Sport England and Leeds City Council.

A large majority of members who attended the extraordinary annual meeting at Headingley supported the resolution and 92.7 per cent of the proxy vote was in favour (2,861 for and 224 against).

Yorkshire treasurer Peter Townend said that the club's borrowing from the banks would generate 40 per cent of the cost of the £10m redevelopment.

The underwriting of that £4m would come from the England and Wales Cricket Board in an agreement on staging fees for Test matches and one-day internationals at Headingley and from Leeds Council.

Asked if Yorkshire were certain to get their grant of £2.9m from Sport England, chief executive Chris Hassell said that the body would be making a final decision on October 2 and Yorkshire were confident the grant would be confirmed.

Hassell also said that the ECB had guaranteed Test cricket at Headingley over the next 25 years.
