Yorkshire County Cricket Club is delighted to confirm Will Sutherland will return to the Club in 2026, with the Australian all-rounder available for the duration of the Vitality Blast and rounds seven and eight of the Rothesay County Championship.<\/p>\n

Sutherland, who captains Victoria in the Sheffield Shield and Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash, returns to Headingley having had a similar stint with the White Rose in 2025.<\/p>\n

His best performance came in a narrow loss to Northamptonshire during the group stage of the Vitality Blast, crushing 58 from 30 balls including six sixes.<\/p>\n

He scored an unbeaten 101* in the recent Sheffield Shield clash vs Western Australia, coming up against fellow Yorkshire recruits Sam Whiteman and Jhye Richardson. The right-hander also toured India with Australia A in September last year, impressing with both bat and ball.<\/p>\n

\u2018Chief\u2019 as he is affectionately known, said he was delighted to be returning.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a brilliant time with the Club last year and I\u2019m really excited to be coming back to Headingley.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Mags and the rest of the coaching staff helped me push my game forward, and I built a strong bond with the rest of the lads along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI followed the team\u2019s progress closely from afar and the way we finished last season was hugely impressive. The momentum and belief that created was clear to see and I can\u2019t wait to get back in and get started with the boys again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gavin Hamilton, General Manager of Cricket added, \u201cWill made a real impression on everyone last year, both in the way he went about his game but also his off-field qualities too.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe adds further leadership to our group ahead of this season, with the added advantage of already understanding our environment \u2013 how we operate and the values we stand for.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a hugely popular member of the squad, and I know his return will be warmly welcomed by our members and supporters alike.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yorkshire County Cricket Club is delighted to confirm Will Sutherland will return to the Club in 2026, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":455540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-455539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/455539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/455540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=455539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=455539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
