The Yorkshire County Cricket will start their 2021 County Championship campaign against Glamorgan at Emerald Headingley on Thursday April 8.

A further nine group stage fixtures are scheduled, culminating in a show-piece game against Roses rivals Lancashire at Scarborough, where it is hoped a packed-out crowd will enjoy what is sure to be a thrilling occasion.

The standings of the group stages will determine the division Yorkshire are placed in, with Steve Patterson’s men hoping to qualify for the top group to be in with a chance of claiming both the County Championship and Bob Willis Trophy.
