Yorkshire has always been a hotbed of cricket, producing some of the finest players to represent England from Geoffrey Boycott and Fred Trueman to current captain Joe Root and Adil Rashid in more modern times.
A plethora of youngsters across the county will have modelled their games on the likes of Root and Rashid but their exploits will be less well-known as they play disability cricket.
To qualify, players will either have a physical disability, hearing impairment or an intellectual impairment which means having an IQ of less than 75 and been diagnosed before 22-years-old.
There are currently three competitions for a first team (Quest), second team/development squad (Pursuit) and participation level team with Yorkshire having a rich history in the Quest and Pursuit leagues, title winners at that first attempt in each in 2023 and 2022 (which led to promotion to the Quest division) respectively.
