Yorkshire wicketkeeper-batter Duke extends deal

Harry Duke played twice for Essex in the County Championship during a loan spell earlier this year

Yorkshire wicketkeeper-batter Harry Duke has signed a two-year contract extension.

The 22-year-old came through the county's age groups and made his senior debut in 2021.

He has made 19 appearances in the County Championship for the White Rose and had a two-week loan spell at Essex earlier this campaign.

“Harry is a very talented young cricketer and we think very highly of him," head coach Ottis Gibson told the club website.

“We’re in a good place as a club to have two very good and competent wicketkeepers in him and Jonny Tattersall. The competition between those two is very healthy.

“Jonny has the gloves in four-day cricket at present, but Dukey is 22. We believe he’s the future of the club in terms of keeping wicket, so we wanted to tie him down to a couple more years and continue his development."
