The Yorkshire County Cricket Club can confirm that two players have been released from the Club, with the contracts of Will Fraine and Jack Shutt not renewed when they expired at the end of October, 2023.

Yorkshire’s Managing Director of Cricket Darren Gough said: “It’s very disappointing to have to let any players go and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each of them for their efforts during their time with the Club.

“Unfortunately, we only have a limited squad size and have to make difficult decisions at this time of year as we look to continue to improve our playing squad.

“Will and Jack have always represented the Club with pride and have been model professionals in their time with us.

“We thank them for their service with Yorkshire Cricket and we would like to wish them every success for the future.”
