Yorkshire CCC: Full fixture list for 2024 county cricket season

YORKSHIRE CCC will begin their quest for honours in the 2024 domestic season the same way they did last year - at home against Leicestershire in the County Championship.

Ottis Gibson’s team will be hopeful of a better outcome when next year’s renewal comes around - on April 5-8 - the visitors having prevailed back in April with a three-wicket win., despite Yorkshire scoring 517 in their first innings.

The opening encounter at Headingley is followed by trips to Bristol to take on Gloucestershire and Lord’s to face Middlesex before returning home to Leeds to close out the opening month of action against Derbyshire.

Three more four-day encounters follow in May – a home game against Glamorgan before trips to Sussex and Northampton - before Yorkshire take a break from the Championship to begin their limited overs’ campaign.

That starts in the Vitality T20 Blast on May 30 with a clash at Headingley against Worcestershire Rapids with a trip to Leicestershire scheduled for the following day.

The group stage of the Blast is played out through June and July - split in half, effectively, by two County Championship games which see Yorkshire make their first trip of the season to Scarborough to host Gloucestershire on Sunday, June 23 before an early rematch with Derbyshire at Chesterfield a week later.

The Metro One-Day Cup group stage begins on Thursday, July 25 with a trip to The Kia Oval to face Surrey is followed three days later with a visit to Nottinghamshire.

Yorkshire’s first home game of the 50-over format is on July 31 at York, the first of two games in competition there, the other coming two days later against Gloucestershire.

There are also two 50-over games at Scarborough, against Essex on Tuesday, August 6 and Leicestershire two days later.

Yorkshire have a second four-day game at Scarborough against Sussex on August 22 and after a clash against Middlesex a week later at Headingley, finish their Championship campaign in September with trips to Leicestershire and Glamorgan before wrapping up their campaign against Northamptonshire at Headingley, starting on Thursday, September 26.

Head coach Ottis Gibson said the aim for 2024 was to see Yorkshire restored to the top division in the four-day format.

"We want success in four-day cricket,” said Gibson. “We want to get ourselves back in the first division. That’s where most of the attention is in county cricket.

"Then, in white ball cricket, especially in the Blast, we want to put forward a better showing than we did this year."
