Yorkshire supporters have been voting for their ‘All-time Vikings T20 XI’ over the last few months, and the team has now been revealed.
With teams restricted to just two overseas players, supporters have named six players from the Yorkshire Vikings current regime in the squad. Added to them, Club legends Darren Lehmann, Craig White and Darren Gough make an appearance.
Yorkshire Vikings XI (Percentage of teams they have been picked in)
1) Adam Lyth (81%)
2) Jonny Bairstow – Wicketkeeper (98%)

With 98% of supporters teams including Jonny Bairstow, the explosive wicket-keeper batsman was the first name on the team sheet. Craig White, the seam-bowling all-rounder, was the eleventh name on the sheet, but beat off plenty of other competition. How would this team get on in this year’s Vitality Blast?
