congratulations to the lads awarded second team caps, surely a time when azeem rafiq was present as well could have been arranged. our pr always messes up.

To be fair to our PR there will probably be less of them at Scarborough. It did strike home how young Rafiq & Bairstow are as both are now realistically part of the first team squadd

Has anyone progressed so quickly from our youth squads that they've been awarded their full caps before their second XI caps?

Hopefully the PR will make a better job of it when they are all awarded their first team caps on the same day in a couple of years time!

I expect a few of them will make it, some will fall by the wayside and some will leave for pastures new.

Perhaps best not to hypothesise as to which is which for now

I've a feeling that Craig White played for the Yorkshire first team before he played for the 2nd team

And Richard Dawson was capped for England before he was capped by Yorkshire
