The future of international cricket at Headingley looked brighter on Tuesday after Yorkshire agreed a new financial package with Leeds City Council.
Test fixtures at Yorkshire's famous headquarters from 2020 onwards appeared to be in serious doubt after it emerged last week that the council had withdrawn a £4million grant to help fund necessary refurbishment to the stand at the Football Ground End.
That work was required in order to achieve minimum capacity requirements stipulated by the England and Wales Cricket Board.
But Yorkshire confirmed in a club statement on Tuesday lunchtime that a favourable new deal has been agreed.
