Yorkshire extend Liam Plunkett’s contract one-year

Liam Plunkett has had his contract at Yorkshire County extended by one-year.

The England fast bowler will now remain at Headingley until 2018.

The 32-year-old, who joined Yorkshire in 2012, has taken 41 wickets in 13 Tests for his country.

He is currently overcoming a minor injury but hopes to be playing again within the next couple of weeks.

In a statement released on the club’s website, Plunkett said: “I love Yorkshire, the surrounding area and the passion the people here have for cricket. I'm very much looking forward to putting the whites back on and getting back out there for Yorkshire.”
