Yorkshire County Crickey Club: England wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow signed a three-year contract extension with Yorkshire County Crickey Club on Thursday.

Having come through the Yorkshire Academy and enjoyed an illustrious international career, including 12 hundreds in 100 Test Matches for England and a World Cup win on home soil in 2019, the wicket-keeper batter is set to play the remainder of his career at Yorkshire.

The 36-year-old will continue as captain in the County Championship, having had significant influence over the White Rose team that matched champion county Nottinghamshire’s points tally in the second half of the campaign.
