Bresnan allowed to play for Yorkshire in Flt20 finals day – Cricket News Update
Yorkshire received a timely boost in the quest for their maiden T20 trophy, as all-rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/TT-Bresnan-c2711 was given a go ahead to participate in the finals day.
BBC Radio Leeds, while announcing the news, said that England and Wales Cricket Board have agreed to allow the bowler to represent his county in the event at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, on August 25.
The 27-year-old bowler took part in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 at the Oval earlier this week, as he failed to impress with both bat and the ball.
He scores of 8 and 20* respectively in both innings, and his bowling figures of 1-140 in the only Protease innings wrapped up a poor Test for the Yorkshire player, who prior to the Oval Test, had lost just one match in his 14-Test career.
The all-rounder’s place in the England team looks doubtful at the moment after recent comments by his fellow http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Lloyd-c53058, who called for Steven Finn’s inclusion in the squad for the Headingley Test, which could mean
an omission for Bresnan.
However, keeping in view his past experience, his inclusion in the Flt20 could still play an important role for his side, which is likely to miss the services of Australian fast bowler http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392, whose contract with the county expires before the finals
day.
Left armer Starc has been Yorkshire’s stand out performer this season. With 21 wickets from 10 matches, he is the highest wicket taker in the tournament.

"We're going to beg Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 as much as we can but I can't see him coming back for it," said Gale while speaking to BBC Radio Leeds.
Pontefract-born Bresnan has so far played 70 T20s in his carrier. Besides scoring 484 runs at an average of 17.28, he has taken 63 wickets as well.
A good performance in the finals would boost his fledgling Test credentials, which could also serve as a timely reminder to his critics.
Yorkshire is set to play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sussex-c852 in the Semi final on August 25.
