With 3 wins and 3 draws, Yorkshire is currently at 2nd spot in the Group 3 table with 98 points.

England International capped player Gary Balance has amassed 215 runs in 4 matches he has played in this Championship, and it’s worth a risk in making him your fantasy team skipper.

Player you should avoid:

Harry Duke has played only one game so far in this Championship and it’s too hard to include him in the team, hence you can avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
