LONDON: England spinner
Dom Bess will swap
Somerset
for
Yorkshire
next season, it was announced on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old, who had a loan spell at Headingley last year, has signed a four-year deal with his new county.
"The Yorkshire
County Cricket
Club is delighted to confirm that Dom Bess will join on a permanent deal from the 2021 season," said a statement.
Bess, who made his England debut against Pakistan in 2018, said he hoped the move would lead to a long international career.
"Hopefully the opportunities I can get at Yorkshire will develop my learning to kick on and play international
cricket
for a long time," he told yorkshireccc.com.
"That is the ultimate goal, but I also want to be part of a Yorkshire side that are again winning championships."
Bess has played 10 Tests for England, taking 19 wickets. He averages just under 28 runs with the bat.
