Andrew Gale's much travelled squad returned to Headingley Carnegie today for the annual pre-season media day and seemed in fine spirits as they prepare for their LV= County Championship opener against Worcestershire at New Road next week.

Gale himself has spent the last 10 weeks in the Caribbean on the England Lions tour alongside Jonny Bairstow, Adam Lyth and Adil Rashid (Adil, Tim Bresnan and Ajmal Shahzad were the only absentees today).

The rest of Gale's squad have just returned from their pre-season trip to Barbados, so the sun tans and smiles were made for a day where the camera was pointed squarely in their direction.

Yorkshire travel to New Road, Worcester for a 4-day Championship match which starts on 8 April and then return to Headingley Carnegie for the visit of Durham which starts on 14 April. We're sure Andrew and the team would value your support if you can come along.
