Yorkshire County Cricket Club can confirm that five players will leave the Club at the end of the 2026 season.
Jawad Akhtar, Noah Kelly, Dan Moriarty, Yash Vagadia and Alex Wade will all leave Headingley when their contracts expire.
Moriarty joined Yorkshire from Surrey in 2023 and made 57 appearances across all three formats for the White Rose, taking 70 wickets. His best first-class figures came against Gloucestershire in 2023, when he returned 5-139.
Akhtar, Kelly, Vagadia and Wade all progressed through the Yorkshire pathway but have found first-team opportunities limited.
Gavin Hamilton, General Manager of Cricket, said, “Releasing players at the end of their contracts is never an easy decision to make nor are the conversations that come with it.
“Jawad, Noah, Dan, Yash and Alex have all had a significant impact both on and off the pitch, and we are grateful for their commitment to the Club.
“Everyone associated with Yorkshire Cricket wishes all five players the very best for the future.”
