Yorkshire

Jonny Tattersall has revealed how, ‘We’ll have a bowl, please’ wasn’t his immediate reaction upon winning a crucial toss at the start of Yorkshire’s County Championship clash with Leicestershire at Grace Road in September.

Maddie Ward believes the European T10 Championship in Spain, which the Yorkshire wicketkeeper-batter is currently involved in for the second year running, is a significant positive for the development of women’s cricket.

If Ria Fackrell plays a central part in Yorkshire’s success over the next three years and hopefully beyond, you could say that a host of household names will have played a small part.

Anthony McGrath is expecting Yorkshire’s new seam bowling signing Jack White to be “a big, big asset” for the county heading into 2025 and beyond. 

Jafer Chohan is relishing the prospect of playing in - and hopefully shining in - the Big Bash League, which starts in Australia this weekend.

When George Hill reflects on 2024, he will no doubt recognise just how big a part Jonny Bairstow played in his progressive year.

Lauren Winfield-Hill is backing Rich Pyrah to get the best out of Yorkshire’s newly formed women’s squad in 2025 and beyond, describing the county’s new coach as “awesome”.

Home is definitely where the heart is for Rachel Slater, the left-arm swing bowler who has signed a three-year contract to play for Yorkshire ahead of 2025. 

Gavin Hamilton has reported positive talks with Joe Root and Harry Brook over their availability for Yorkshire in 2025. Yorkshire’s new general manager of cricket has been paying tribute to the England pair after they were this week ranked number one and two in the ICC’s Test Match rankings. 

Beating champions elect Sussex at the end of August rubber-stamped Yorkshire’s return to the promotion picture, so it was no surprise stand-in captain Jonny Tattersall picked out the Scarborough success as a magic moment.

Opportunity knocks for Yorkshire’s young guns whose preparations for the new season are in full swing. That is the view of James Martin, the head of the county’s performance pathway.
