Shai Hope has joined Yorkshire for a three-match stint as their overseas player for the start of the English County Championship. He has been picked in the starting eleven for the opening fixture against Leicestershire at Headingley.
A release from Cricket West Indies stated that Yorkshire Managing Director Darren Gough hailed the signing of West Indies One Day International captain after the club made the announcement on Wednesday.
Hope will have fond memories of Headingley, where six years ago he became the first player to score two hundreds in the same first-class match while playing for West Indies against hosts England. Hope scored 147 and 118 not out, and West Indies pulled off a remarkable victory.
