Yorkshire have signed Derbyshire batter Shan Masood and Leicestershire all-rounder Ben Mike for the 2023 season.
Pakistan international Masood, 32, will be one of the club's overseas players and has signed a two-year deal.
Mike, 23, has signed a three-year deal with the Headingley side.
"Shan is a world-class batter who will contribute in all formats and Ben is a very talented young cricketer," interim managing director of cricket Darren Gough said.
Left-hander Masood has scored 1,779 runs for Derbyshire so far this year and turned down a new contract with the Division Two side last week.
Mike, who called the chance to join Yorkshire "an amazing opportunity", has taken 79 first-class wickets in his career and scored 10 half-centuries with a top score of 99 not out.
