Yorkshire\u00a0men\u2019s pre-season tour, which was due to start on Saturday with the squad flying out\u00a0to\u00a0the\u00a0UAE,\u00a0has been cancelled.<\/p>\n
Due to the ongoing situation in the Middle East, the men\u00a0will\u00a0now head to Desert Springs in Spain\u00a0on\u00a0Sunday\u00a0for ten days.<\/p>\n
A cohort of players delayed in returning from Australia from the training camp in Melbourne, will join up\u00a0with\u00a0the squad later next week.<\/p>\n
Gavin Hamilton, General Manager of\u00a0Cricket,\u00a0said.\u00a0\u201cGiven\u00a0the\u00a0ongoing situation in the Middle East, the safety of all our players and staff is of paramount importance\u00a0to us.\u00a0As a result of this,\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0worked\u00a0swiftly\u00a0to rearrange our\u00a0plans,\u00a0and we\u2019re pleased to have turned this alternative provision around\u00a0in such a short\u00a0space of time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve\u00a0been really pleased with the workloads\u00a0and the level of cricket shown by our players over the\u00a0winter,\u00a0and the camp\u00a0in Desert Springs\u00a0allows us\u00a0a great opportunity\u00a0to\u00a0build on this\u00a0further.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will also\u00a0give\u00a0the players\u00a0an opportunity\u00a0to collectively come together for the first time this winter and will ensure they have enough preparation\u00a0time\u00a0ahead of\u00a0the start of the season\u00a0next month.\u201d<\/p>\n
James Wharton and Matthew Revis, who were both in the UAE with the England Lions for the curtailed series with Pakistan Shaheens have both now returned to the UK with the rest of the England squad.<\/p>\n
