Headingley gets £600,000 facelift
Yorkshire will get a completely new outfield at Headingley thanks to a £600,000 grant from the England and Wales Cricket Board.
New drainage and irrigation systems are to be introduced and it is hoped they will reduce the amount of game-time lost to poor weather.
Yorkshire's final home Championship fixture, against Somerset on 17 September, will have to be moved.
One possible venue for the match is Scarborough's North Marine Road.
