The Yorkshire County Cricket Club is thrilled to announce the signing of international all-rounder Will Sutherland.
The highly rated Australian, who played two ODIs last February, will be available for rounds eight and nine of the Rothesay County Championship against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge and Essex at York respectively, and the entirety of the Vitality Blast group campaign.
In this year’s Big Bash tournament, Sutherland has captained the Melbourne Renegades starring with both bat and ball. Most notably taking two for 22 and scoring 70 off 45 balls against Perth Scorchers.
Sutherland is excited to get started at Headingley saying: “Yorkshire are a Club with big ambitions, and I want to do all I can to contribute to a successful year. I know how hard the guys will have worked to get promoted last season and I’m looking forward to putting in the hard yards with the team.
“I’ve worked closely with Mags and Mick previously over in Australia so the opportunity to join them both again was one I couldn’t turn down.
“Headingley and its atmosphere is famous in Australia, and I can’t wait to experience a Roses game. I know it’s the first fixture so many look out for, and I was no different.”

Yorkshire Head Coach Anthony McGrath said: “Will is someone I have admired for a long time and feel he can add something extra to our bowling attack for that middle period of the season as well as offering us an added dimension with the bat.
“I know the Australian selectors think highly of him, and they know a thing or two about all-rounders, so I am confident Will can hit the ground running and deliver for us in both red and white ball games.”
Gavin Hamilton, General Manager of Cricket added, “Will is an immense talent. His record is impressive, and I’m delighted that we have got his signing over the line.
“Having discussed this opportunity with Will over recent weeks, it quickly became clear that he was aligned to our philosophy for the year ahead and his ambitions matched ours.
“We look forward to welcoming Will to Yorkshire.”
