Yorkshire

The Ashes may well be done and dusted, but that will not stop thousands of England fans from descending on Melbourne and Sydney for the Christmas and New Year’s Tests over the next fortnight.

When you look down the list of Yorkshire’s best bowling figures in first-class cricket, there are plenty of highlights to choose from. Three players have taken 10 wickets in an innings, for example, the great Hedley Verity doing it twice. Plenty of nine-fers too. But another one catches the eye. Ted Peate’s 8-5 against Surrey at Holbeck in 1883.

Anthony McGrath has hailed Jonny Bairstow’s desire to keep on producing, saying it’s “fantastic” that the star wicketkeeper-batter has committed to the long-term with Yorkshire.

Ami Campbell hailed Lauren Winfield-Hill’s commitment to the cause after Yorkshire’s captain posted the highest ever List A score in the county’s history - for both women and men.

Owen Jervis says Yorkshire’s disability programme has “never been in a stronger position” ahead of 2026.

Ami Campbell learnt a lot about herself at the Seat Unique Stadium as Yorkshire got their Metro Bank One-Day Cup title bid back on track after home defeats against Middlesex and Glamorgan.

Gavin Hamilton says Yorkshire’s men will be changing things up in their search for a maiden Vitality Blast title in 2026.

Fin Bean, Noah Kelly, Dan Moriarty and Owen Smith have all scored recent fifties in Melbourne club cricket, while Harry Duke and Will Luxton have also posted scores of note.

Alongside my training and playing with Beaumaris this winter, I’ve taken on a coaching role with the club, which I’m really enjoying.

It had been a nightmare start to life as a full-time professional with Yorkshire for opening bowler Jess Woolston, with injury ruining the first half of her summer. But she returned to action impressively.

Gavin Hamilton says signing overseas fast bowlers is the “absolute focus” of Yorkshire men’s winter recruitment. The county’s general manager of cricket has given an update on additions to the squads of both the men’s and the women’s squads.
