We're thrilled to announce a significant multi-year technical partnership with Yorkshire County Cricket Club (YCCC), set to commence in the 2025 season.
As the exclusive official kit supplier and sportswear partner, Castore will provide high-performance apparel for YCCC's men's, women's, and player pathway teams. This partnership comes at a crucial time for Yorkshire Cricket, coinciding with the men's team's return to Division One of the County Championship and the women's team entering a new era of professionalism.
This partnership adds Yorkshire CCC to our growing portfolio of prestigious cricket partnerships, which includes:
- England and Wales Cricket Board
- New Zealand Cricket
- Surrey CCC
- Worcestershire CCC
- Middlesex CCC
- Kent CCC
We are proud to bring our expertise in technical sportswear to one of cricket’s most storied clubs, enhancing their competitive edge on the field.
In addition to supplying top-tier kit, Castore will manage YCCC's retail operations, overseeing both the club shop at Headingley and their online retail channels. This comprehensive approach will ensure that fans have easy access to high-quality merchandise that reflects the club's heritage and ambitions.
Castore will become a familiar brand at Headingley in the 2024-2025 domestic and international seasons, as Men’s International Cricket returns to the ground for the England vs. India Rothesay Test series next June, and the first Metro Bank ODI England vs. South Africa next September.
Sanjay Patel, CEO of Yorkshire CCC said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Castore ahead of the 2025 season and are looking forward to working with them ahead of an exciting summer of cricket.
“We join an illustrious list of sporting teams from around the world that work with Castore and I’m sure our members and supporters will be excited to see the new range that will be launched in the new year.”
“Castore have grown rapidly in recent years, cementing themselves as one of the best premium sportswear brands in the world and we are really excited to welcome them to the Yorkshire Family.”
Castore founding partner Tom Beahon said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with Yorkshire CCC as they take their rightful place back at the top table of English County Cricket. Headingley is an iconic global cricket venue and we’re excited to be on board with Yorkshire ahead of a hugely exciting summer of international cricket in 2025.”
“Castore is also committed to supporting Yorkshire's wider community and grassroots cricket, as a region with a long list of locally produced talent that have gone to do great things for the sport. We’re pleased that some of the all-time greats of English cricket, and famous Yorkies such as Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Adil Rashid, and Katherine Sciver-Brunt have all worn the Castore wings when on England duty. And we’re proud that some of these exceptional players can now do so when representing Yorkshire. We are pleased to be providing high performance wear for a team on the rise, and this partnership signifies our continued focus on the sport of cricket as we build on our existing partnership with counties, the ECB and other national teams.”
This partnership signifies our ongoing commitment to cricket and our ambition to provide world-class sportswear for athletes at all levels. We are excited about what lies ahead as we work closely with YCCC to create a successful future together. Join us as we embark on this thrilling journey with Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
