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.
