Broad: Championship bow for Nottinghamshire
Morne Morkel will make his Yorkshire debut in the County Championship fixture against Nottinghamshire.
The South African fast bowler, who arrived in the country on Sunday, is expected to replace Deon Kruis in the Tykes' bowling attack.
Skipper Darren Gough is fit to return after coming through Sunday's FP Trophy win over Derbyshire unscathed; consequently there is no place for Ajmal Shahzad.
England captain Michael Vaughan and centrally contracted seam bowler Matthew Hoggard are both included.
Nottinghamshire are at full strength for the trip to Headingley.
England seam bowlers Stuart Broad and Ryan Sidebottom are both available, meaning the axe for either Darren Pattinson or Paul Franks.
Broad will be making his first appearance in the County Championship for Nottinghamshire following his move from Leicestershire during the winter.
Charlie Shreck is expected to be the third seam bowler, with off-spinner Graeme Swann completing the attack.
