Yorkshire CCC’s County Championship and One-Day Cup fixtures announced
YORKSHIRE will begin their quest to win the County Championship with a trip to South Wales to face newly-promoted Glamorgan.
The match will be played at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, from Friday April 3 as Yorkshire seek their first Championship silverware since 2015.
Yorkshire’s fixtures for the four-day competition and for the 50-over One-Day Cup have been announced this morning by the England and Wales Cricket Board.
Fixtures for the women’s One-Day Cup have also been revealed, following Tuesday’s announcement of the T20 fixtures.
Yorkshire’s first Championship home match is against Hampshire at Headingley from April 10, with six rounds of action before the T20 Blast.
There are two games in the middle of that competition - the first from June 12 against Warwickshire at Scarborough, to where Yorkshire return for their other Championship fixture at the venue against Leicestershire from August 27.
Yorkshire conclude their programme against champions Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge from September 24.
The highlight of the men’s One-Day Cup group stage is arguably a trip to face Glamorgan at Neath on July 24.
Yorkshire last played at the ground in 1969, while that tournament sees the usual two home games at Scarborough and two games at York.
Yorkshire women are taking part in Tier One for the first time next season and they start their 16-match One-Day Cup programme against Somerset at Taunton on April 11.
