Change of Selection Policy

County Players doing their bit!
You would think that the off-season would be a time to put their feet up and relax but this is far from the case.
Not only are the county players currently training hard through the YCB Pathways programme but some of them have also been out
and about doing their bit to promote the women’s game across Yorkshire.
Over in Hull, senior county players Wendy Brown and Rochelle Petty joined the members of the East Riding Cricket Society, for an
evening of discussion and debate, and to present players and officials of East Yorkshire Women & Girls Cricket Development Group
with a National Lottery Awards for All cheque for £10,000.
