On March 20, 2026, England star Sarah Glenn joined Yorkshire from The Blaze on a two-year deal, reuniting with former team-mates Lauren Winfield-Hill and Jess Jonassen. This move followed the club's pre-season activity earlier in the month, where on March 16, Somerset finished day one of a friendly against Yorkshire in Desert Springs, Spain, at 309-9, as Yorkshire's men's team prepared for their Rothesay County Championship opener on April 3 against Glamorgan. Previously, on March 3, Australian all-rounder Will Sutherland returned to Yorkshire for his second spell in 2026, signing an overseas deal matching his last summer's contract. Sutherland, a state and Big Bash captain, represents the seventh new men’s signing and fourth overseas player for the New Year. The day before, on March 2, Will Luxton concluded his winter season by scoring a fourth century for Greenvale Kangaroos, captaining his Melbourne team to a second win before returning to Headingley for new season preparations. Earlier, on February 21, four Yorkshire women’s stars, including Claudie Cooper and opening batter Erin Thomas, prepared for the new season, with Cooper and Thomas recently completing a 10-day training camp in Mumbai after Thomas recovered from hip surgery.
