    Liam Plunkett has had his contract at Yorkshire County extended by one-year.

    The England fast bowler will now remain at Headingley until 2018.

    The 32-year-old, who joined Yorkshire in 2012, has taken 41 wickets in 13 Tests for his country.

    He is currently overcoming a minor injury but hopes to be playing again within the next couple of weeks.
