Rudolph to the rescue for Yorkshire

SOUTH African batsman Jacques Rudolph is returning to Yorkshire in an attempt to save their season.

Rudolph has rejoined the club as they battle to avoid County Championship relegation.

The 30-year-old left-hander - Yorkshire’s leading run-scorer for the past four years - is due to make his comeback in the Championship game against Lancashire at Headingley on July 20.

He scored a total of 8,629 runs during his impressive spell at Headingley and never failed to reach 1,000 first-class runs in each season.

He has now received clearance from the England and Wales Cricket Board to rejoin the Tykes.
