Boxing day
Yorkshire Sign Australian Quick Jhye Richardson For County Championship Stint
The 29-year-old pacer will feature in the initial block of red-ball fixtures, strengthening Yorkshire’s pace attack as they aim to mount a strong early challenge. Richardson will reunite with fellow Western Australian teammates Sam Whiteman and AJ Tye, who are also part of the county’s overseas contingent for the upcoming campaign.
Richardson brings valuable international and domestic experience, having represented Australia in four Test matches, including his most recent appearance during the Boxing Day Ashes Test. His standout performance in the longest format came during the 2021 Ashes series, when he claimed impressive figures of 5 for 42 at the Adelaide Oval. Known for his ability to swing the ball both ways and generate pace, Richardson has also taken 122 wickets in first-class cricket at an average of 20.
