The whole of Yorkshire Cricket will be paying tribute to local MP Jo Cox from Batley and Spen at Headingley tonight following her tragic death in senseless circumstances yesterday.

Ahead of tonight’s NatWest T20 Blast match against Notts Outlaws, players, officials, Members and spectators will join together and remember Jo by observing a minute’s silence. The players will also wear black armbands during tonight’s match.

Mark Arthur, Yorkshire County Cricket Club Chief Executive, has paid his own tribute to the much-loved local MP.

“Jo was a kind, intelligent person who was generous with her time,” Arthur said.

“She genuinely wanted to help others, particularly those in her constituency, and make a difference to their lives. My heart goes out to her husband Brendan and their two young children.”
