Overview
- The 29-year-old is contracted for the first block of fixtures through mid-May, covering up to six red-ball matches.
- Cricket Australia will manage his workload, so he is not expected to play every game in that span.
- Recently back from shoulder surgery, Richardson featured in the Boxing Day Ashes Test and showed form in the BBL and Sheffield Shield, including 4-54 against Tasmania.
- He is Yorkshire's third Western Australia signing this winter alongside Sam Whiteman, who will play across formats, and Andrew Tye on a T20 Blast deal.
- Yorkshire begin their Championship campaign on April 3 against Glamorgan in Cardiff, while the ECB review on Australians' county participation remains unresolved.
