Will be known as Carnegie in one-day cricket

Yorkshire have changed their one-day nickname from Phoenix to Carnegie following 'a significant investment' from Leeds Metropolitan University. The county will now be known as Yorkshire Carnegie and wear black and gold kits in the Friends Provident Trophy, Twenty20 Cup and NatWest Pro40 competitions. "We believe we are the first club in county cricket to move into such a groundbreaking innovative deal," said Yorkshire chief executive Stewart Regan. Yorkshire will make their debut under the name of Carnegie - the famous Leeds college - against Roses rivals Lancashire during a pre-season friendly in Abu Dhabi on March 21.
