Yorkshire flying Adil Rashid, Tim Bresnan and Jonny Bairstow back for Sunday

Yorkshire have chartered a private jet to get three England players back from Ireland and boost their depleted squad.

Adam Lyth and Liam Plunkett have already returned, after not featuring in the Test series against the West Indies, but Jonny Bairstow, Adil Rashid and Tim Bresnan are in line to play against Ireland in England's one-day international in Dublin on Friday.

Yorkshire are keen to field as strong a side as possible against Hampshire on Sunday and have arranged for their trio of players to travel separately to the rest of the England squad - Hampshire's James Vince will join them on the flight.

Chief executive Mark Arthur said: "It is unprecedented times. We have had six players away for three Championship matches and then England come back from the Caribbean and have arranged a one-day game in Ireland where we have three of our players called up for this one-off game.

"If we would have stuck to the scheduled flights they would have returned to Birmingham on Saturday afternoon and in our opinion that is no way to prepare for a very important LV= County Championship (match) on Sunday at Headingley.

"Martyn Moxon (director of cricket), in particular, was very upset how long it would take these guys to get back. The timing is difficult for all parties concerned with this one-off match taking place in Ireland.

"We fully understand the difficulties the ECB face and they fully support this. They have made allowances for the lads to travel back separately."
