Yorkshire angry after Bairstow refused permission to play in title finals - chairman - 09-18-2016
“The Yorkshire County Cricket Club would like to express its disappointment after the ECB refused the club’s request for Jonny Bairstow to participate in the final Specsavers County Championship fixture of the season,†a statement read. “Yorkshire members, supporters and other stakeholders in the game will wonder why this permission has been refused.
“Having been rested for 16 days since he last played for England, Bairstow said he felt refreshed and wanted to play for Yorkshire against Middlesex at Lord’s, where the club has the opportunity of winning three successive County Championships, a feat last achieved almost 50 years ago.
“Although not a centrally contracted player for the last 12 months, Yorkshire required clearance from the ECB to play Bairstow.
