YORKSHIRE may sign a second overseas player within the next week or so, said chief executive Colin Graves today.

The issue was one of several topics discussed by the Management Board at Headingley yesterday when the club's recent disastrous results came under close examination.

"Another overseas player is certainly on our agenda and, fingers crossed, we may be in a position to announce something shortly," said Graves.

The Board also discussed the structure of the team for the new Twenty20 Cup competition which begins next week as well as how best to regroup when the Championship programme resumes.

It was also agreed to write to the sender of a death threat to director of cricket Geoff Cope and the other members of the Board and say that the intemperate language was unnecessary and unacceptable.

Dunnington-based Graves said they did not intend to report the matter to the Police and no further action would be taken.
