In a move aimed at supporting the cricketing talent at Yorkshire County Cricket Club, the Cricket Yorkshire website will be sponsoring two promising cricketers in Josh Shaw and Jonathan Tattersall for the 2015 season. It's the latest news in a series of partnerships and sponsorships, including a shirt
Garfield might like Mondays, I prefer this Tuesday. If, like me you have waited patiently (at first) for winter to jog on so the county season could come round again, well, IT IS FINALLY HERE. Sorry for shouty capitals but it’s only when you miss something; yearn for it,
Congratulations to Australia’s World Cup winners! They were everything that England weren’t. With the bat they were bold and powerful, with the ball they were sharp and skilful. They dominated a tournament where the weak sides were painfully exposed, none more so than England. England’s campaign was

As Yorkshire wrapped up victory against the MCC in the final game of their UAE tour, Cricket Yorkshire had our very own tour correspondent and Yorkshire CCC fan, Phil Rose, report back on what it's like to visit the country as a cricket fan. The brief was to
My life would now be dramatically different, had I not began life as a cricket coach in a royal London Park, supervising 5-9 year olds as a university summer job. I might never have met my wife (the ultimate inspiration for Cricket Yorkshire), whose cousin I first befriended whilst
At a time when the men’s game is searching for answers in the aftermath of a forgettable World Cup, England Women can look back with some satisfaction on a successful winter. The T20 series against New Zealand was secured 2-1 and despite starting slowly in the one-day
Right. That’s it. I have had enough. Consider this England’s World Cup rocket from a position of extreme grumpiness. I have sat up into the early hours, with only a strong mug of tea and a crème egg for companionship, to watch England get absolutely decimated three times
Following on from football’s re-shuffling of a global tournament, we have something of a world exclusive… The 2019 creeckit World Cup in England will now be held in December. It will have its own hashtag and everything: #wintercricketworldcup. Woolly hats off to the organisers for realising that this
On World Cancer Day (Wednesday 4 February), my focus was on the funeral of a family member who lost his battle with cancer. It’s a terrible group of diseases that has brutally rampaged through my family of late and reminded me both to be thankful for every day and
