Yorkshire

Yorkshire were purring now. The opening-day 50-over defeat to Worcestershire at Headingley in April was now firmly behind them. They had won three from four games in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup and had won four from four in the Blast.

Ashes fever has gripped the Yorkshire dressing room, and two close coaching mates have had a bit of a disagreement. No surprise, really, with Anthony McGrath a proud Englishman and a former international, with Mick Lewis a true blue Aussie who has also represented his country with distinction.

The countdown to the new season is on! Yorkshire’s women returned to pre-season training this week ahead of the 2026 campaign, while the men do so too at the start of next week. And added to that, the summer’s fixture list will be released by the ECB on both November 25 and 28. 

My first month in Melbourne seems to have flown by, probably due to the fact that there wasn’t much settling in to do with Beaumaris having been here last winter.

Ami Campbell believes Ria Fackrell’s brilliant 4-13 from four overs of off-spin in the opening Vitality Blast win over Derbyshire Falcons at Headingley was the springboard for the all-rounder’s impressive second half of the season.

Matthew Revis believes fellow award-winning all-rounder George Hill “has the world at his feet”.

Matthew Revis has landed in Australia today relishing his first taste of England Lions duty and delighted with the contributions for Yorkshire which have helped the emerging and exciting all-rounder get there.

Ami Campbell says this summer's 11-run triumph over Essex at Headingley in the FA Cup of county cricket did wonders for Yorkshire’s belief ahead of their elevation to Tier 1 in 2026.

Anthony McGrath is confident Yorkshire can transfer their form during the second half of the summer into a fast start when next summer rolls around.

A headstone for former Yorkshire and England spinner Ted Peate was unveiled in at Yeadon Cemetery yesterday.

Having tasted defeat to Worcestershire at Headingley on the opening day, Yorkshire were on the board having brushed Sussex Sharks aside at Hove the following Saturday - by nine wickets chasing 78. Now, it was time to put their foot down. And that’s exactly what they did, clipping the wings of the Derbyshire Falcons in remarkable fashion.
