England batter Harry Brook has made himself available to Yorkshire for the start of the County Championship.
The White Rose start the new season at Headingley against Leicestershire on Friday, 5 April.
Fellow England batter Joe Root could also feature in their early games.
“Now that Brooky isn’t going to the IPL, I suspect he’s going to be available to us for the first few games, including Leicestershire,” head coach Ottis Gibson told the club website.
“He loves playing for us, and Rooty is also going to be available for some games in that early period. Having those two playing for us would be special.”
Brook has not played competitive cricket since the fifth T20 in the West Indies in December.
England are next in action with a four-match T20 series against Pakistan at home, starting on 22 May, before Jos Buttler’s side begin their T20 World Cup defence in the Caribbean on 4 June.
Yorkshire are looking to win promotion back to Division One of the County Championship, having finished seventh of eight teams last year.
