The partnership, which is now in its fifth consecutive year, will run until the end of 2018 with an option to extend it to 2019.

Andy Dawson, commercial director at YCCC, said: “The longevity of this partnership demonstrates that it has been a successful relationship that continues to be mutually fruitful for both parties.

“We have got to know the Mazars team very well over the years and we’re delighted to continue to share this journey with a business and people that share similar values to our own.”

Yorkshire won back-to-back County Championship titles in 2014 and 2015. While last year the club ran eventual winners Middlesex close.

This season Yorkshire has had a mix start to the County Championship, with one win, one draw and a defeat from three games.

Mazars’ partnership with Yorkshire CCC has seen the firm walk out and play on the hallowed Headingley turf.

Ian Wrightson, partner and UK head of people and culture at Mazars, said: “We are proud to be the principal partner of the Yorkshire County Cricket Club.

“It’s a really strong cultural and strategic fit, with both of us having a clear focus on talent and excellence. I’m delighted to be extending our relationship again for next year.”
