Adam Lyth commits to Yorkshire until 2025

The opening batter has made over 450 appearances for Yorkshire since making his debut in 2006, scoring over 18,500 runs

Opening batter Adam Lyth has penned a three-year contract extension with Yorkshire, keeping him at Headingley until at least 2025.

The all-format batter has made over 450 appearances for Yorkshire since making his debut in 2006 and lifted back-to-back County Championship titles in 2014 and 2015. In red-ball matches alone, he has scored nearly 12,000 runs at 38.55 for the club.

Also proficient against the white ball, the 34-year-old has scored 3,754 runs in 121 List A outings and a further 3,556 runs in 144 T20 outings. His knock of 161 from 73 balls against Northamptonshire in 2017 remains a T20 Blast record.

"I’m delighted to sign a contract extension with Yorkshire and am excited to be part of this team for at least the next three years," the left-handed batter said.

"Yorkshire is my home club and I take great pride in representing them. With such a talented squad I believe we can really challenge for silverware over the next few years and would love to secure another trophy in front of our fantastic supporters.

"On a personal level, I’ve been pleased with how my batting has gone over the last few years and believe I’ve got a lot more runs to score across all formats.

Darren Gough, Yorkshire's interim managing director of cricket, was equally delighted at the extension: "He was a young player at Yorkshire when I was in the final few years of my playing career and I remember thinking what a talent he was back then.

"It’s fair to say he’s gone on to have a marvellous career so far, proving himself to be one of the best multi-format batters in the country and his performances this year have shown that he’s still got a lot of runs left in the tank.

"His impact on the team as a senior player is so important and I’m confident he will play his part in helping us to bring some silverware back to Headingley in the next few years."
