Yorkshire

Confidence is high for Yorkshire’s Women as they begin to start their summer this weekend, tackling Worcestershire at Headingley on Saturday in their opening Metro Bank One-Day Cup 2 clash.

The league cricket season begins across Yorkshire this weekend, and the county are watching.

All-rounder Dom Bess may not have thought it at the time, but he now admits there has been a positive side to the frustrations he has endured in recent seasons surrounding the sporadic nature of his first-team exposure with Yorkshire. 

Richmondshire’s title-winning captain Rob Carr believes Yorkshire’s scouting mission across the county’s five Premier Leagues this summer is “a great move”.

Rich Pyrah says Lauren Winfield-Hill was the obvious choice to take on the role of the new Yorkshire women’s captain, and he is also excited by the chance to give leadership opportunities to both Rachel Slater and Maddie Ward this summer.

Jordan Thompson believes he is heading into an important stage in his career, the all-action all-rounder looking to push both Yorkshire and himself forwards.

Anthony McGrath has revealed that England stars Harry Brook and Joe Root will be available to Yorkshire for one match in the Rothesay County Championship prior to the start of the home international summer.

Dom Bess completed a superb nightwatchman’s 107 during the morning session of a third day against Worcestershire which ended with Yorkshire claiming a record-breaking 504-run win at Headingley - the highest ever victory by a runs margin in the history of the Rothesay County Championship.
