DARREN GOUGH says Yorkshire will play the waiting game before firming up their overseas list for 2024 as they seek to win promotion back to Division One of the County Championship.
The county’s managing director of cricket does not want to move too soon given the club’s history of injuries to its bowling department. Yorkshire were unlucky again with injuries last summer, with pace bowlers Matt Milnes and Mickey Edwards out for long spells. Matty Fisher missed the start and end of the campaign with a broken hand and then a side strain - although he did feature in nine of the 14 fixtures, the most he has ever played in one season - and Ben Coad was managing a knee problem.
“We’re fortunate that we’ve got a gun overseas in Shan Masood, and he got 700-odd runs for us in seven games, and I think he’ll be even better next year.” Gough’s efforts to strengthen have also been hit by the racism crisis. Players have been reluctant to come given the uncertainty hanging over the club in terms of points penalties, a situation that was only resolved 10 weeks ago when a 48-point sanction ended their promotion hopes.
