Last year’s finish: 5th in the North Group
Tournament history: They’ve reached Finals Day just twice (in 2012 and 2016), with a runners-up finish to Hampshire eight years ago their best effort.
Key player: Adam Lyth. Known for his brief stint as an England Test opener back in 2015, Lyth holds a T20-best of 161 off just 73 balls, and averaged 38 with the bat in last year’s Blast. Oddly enough, he was also the White Rose’s leading wicket-taker last year, collecting 12 wickets at 12.
