Yorkshire

Rachel Slater couldn’t hide her delight when she found out that Scotland would be playing England at Headingley in June’s T20 World Cup group stage.

The training camp out here in Melbourne with the Yorkshire lads over the last few weeks - overseen by our bowling coach Mick Lewis - has been really, really high-quality.

Four Yorkshire women’s stars have been - or will be - jetting away from Headingley to ramp up their preparations for the new season, with Claudie Cooper especially busy. 

Yorkshire have added to their WA contingent by signing exciting international quick Jhye Richardson for the first half of the Rothesay County Championship summer.

Yorkshire County Cricket Club is delighted to announce the overseas signing of Australian Test star Jhye Richardson, with the bowler joining for the first block of Rothesay County Championship fixtures.  

You could forgive Mickey Edwards for not knowing whether to laugh or cry when he looks back at his short time with Yorkshire in 2023 and 2024. But the affable Australian quickly dispels any doubt when he says: “I absolutely loved it at Yorkshire. I met some incredible people.”

Yorkshire batting star Adam Lyth wandering around Sainsbury’s in Whitby in his full cricket kit?! The pun is unavoidable. A Supermarket Sweep.

Yorkshire’s women have been given a huge boost ahead of the new summer with the return to fitness of overseas signing Jess Jonassen back home in Australia. 

Adding experience to Yorkshire’s men’s squad was a conscious effort, says general manager of cricket Gavin Hamilton, who is very happy with where things stand recruitment wise ahead of the 2026 summer. 

Ben Coad is confident Yorkshire can build on the positivity which came from the way they finished last season as they bid to start 2026 with a bang.
