The Yorkshire County Cricket Club can confirm that all-rounder George Hill will no longer play in the upcoming England Lions games.
Having played in all seven of Yorkshire’s Rothesay County Championship matches, bowling 187 overs, the Keighley-born seamer will now rest for the next week as the Club looks to manage his workload.
Hill sits at the top of the Division One bowling averages, having taken an impressive 32 wickets at just 14.65 runs per wicket.
General Manager of Cricket Gavin Hamilton commented: “It was naturally a big honour for George to be picked for the Lions on the back of what has been a remarkable start to the season for him.
“However, having played a key part in all of our games so far this season and got through a high volume of overs, we feel it is important that he now gets some time to recover before the next round of fixtures.
“It goes without saying that he is a key part of our side and we believe this rest will ensure he continues his fine form. I have no doubt that George will continue to push for higher honours in the coming months and years.”
