Below the Yorkshire Academy, the club have employed six more players on their Emerging Players Programme (EPP). Here, Academy head coach Richard Damms talks us through the roles, ability, aims and potential of the young players.

George Booth

“George is Ed Booth’s younger brother. He’s a right-arm opening bowler who showed lots of potential in the games he was able to play last summer.

“What impressed me was when he bowled at Gary Ballance in a pre-season net ahead of last year. First ball he rocked up and bounced him. I thought, ‘Good on you!’

“He doesn’t look like he’s going to be intimidated at all. He’s got a good attitude.”
