Yorkshire bring back Root and Brook for 2026 push
Yorkshire have Joe Root and Harry Brook back for the 2026 County Championship, and yes, it is a very big deal. They return before Surrey on May 15, with Brook set for two matches and Root for three as England prepare for New Zealand on June 4. Yorkshire start at Glamorgan on April 3 with Jonny Bairstow in charge. A strong setup. A very strong setup.
Quick rundown
- Brook and Root are back in Yorkshire whites just in time for the county cricket warm-up act.
- Yorkshire’s 2026 season starts in Cardiff against Glamorgan, because apparently the road trip begins early.
- Root will play three County Championship games, while Brook gets two chances to flex the bat.
- Both players were England’s brightest sparks in a rough Ashes outing Down Under.
- England’s summer schedule is packed with six Tests, so the calendar is doing the heavy lifting.
