Newly-appointed Yorkshire captain Bairstow awaits England call-up
Gulf Today

Jonny Bairstow is still aiming foran England recall after being appointed as Yorkshire's red-ball cricket captain on Thursday.
-
Bairstow was installed as skipper a week before the start of the English domestic season after the 35-year-old looked to feature in either the Indian Premier League or Pakistan Super League.
Instead, he will now captain Yorkshire, the most successful club in the history of the County Championship with 32 outright titles, as they look to return to the First Division.
Bairstow's late father David led Yorkshire from 1984 to 1987 and Jonny said: "He played here for 20 years and was captain as well. There's not many fathers and sons who have done it.
"The county is embedded in my heart, and Itake immense pride in representing the club on the field. To now be able to do that as captain, in what will be an exciting season, is a real honour."
Bairstow, while a veteran of IOO Tests and 187 limited-overs internationals, has not featured in any kind of Englandsquad since last year's T20 World Cup.
