England Batters Joe Root And Dawid Malan Sign New Deals With Relegated County Side Yorkshire

Former England Test skipper Joe Root and veteran top-order batter Dawid Malan have signed new deals despite Yorkshire County Cricket Club (YCCC) getting relegated to County Championship Division Two.

This is the first time since 2012 that Yorkshire have dropped into the second tier and the club's dismal performance this season is being attributed to the upheaval in the wake of the Azeem Rafiq racism scandal last year, where the Pakistan-origin cricketer claimed that it left him close to committing suicide.
