first non yorks born cricketer to represent yorks county cricket team

Nawab of Pataudi??

Probably isn't but it's a name that sticks with me from being a kid.

Maybe Sachin Tendulkar??

It was indeed Tendulkar. In 1992.

An interesting point though is that Craig White was Yorkshire's first overseas player. Although he was born in Yorkshire, he was classed as an overseas player because he had played first class cricket for Victoria in Aussie, where he had grown up.

If the question ever comes up in a quiz...note the wording.

I wish I saw this thread earlier as I knew it was Tendulkar.

have since discovered craig mcdermott was due to be
first overseas player but withdrew due to injury and in stepped tendulkar at nineteen years of age to create history thanks to people who answered question
