YORKSHIRE's bid to win the T20 tournament for the first time will begin on July 19 when they take on Notts at Headingley.

It is the first of 14 group matches as Yorkshire look to improve on a disappointing record in the game’s shortest form.

Since the competition was inaugurated in 2003, Yorkshire have only twice reached Finals Day, losing to Hampshire in the 2012 final and to Durham in the 2016 semi-final.

They failed to qualify for the knockout stages last year, finishing fifth in the North Group.
