Moin Ashraf among Yorkshire trio released

Moin Ashraf, Dan Hodgson and Jonny Tattersall, have been released by Yorkshire.

Ashraf, a right-arm seamer, leaves the club after five years in which he made 21 first-class appearances taking 43 wickets. The 23-year-old's best season came in 2012 when he spearheaded Yorkshire's T20 attack with Australian international Mitchell Starc, helping the White Rose County reach finals day at Cardiff before losing out to Hampshire in the final.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Hodgson, a product of the Leeds Bradford MCCU set-up, joined Yorkshire in 2012 and has been a mainstay of Yorkshire's Second XI this season, captaining the side on a number of occasions. He played a major part in the club's 2012 Champions League appearance in South Africa where he kept wicket in the absence of senior players Jonny Bairstow and Andrew Hodd. Last season he spent some time on loan at Derbyshire.

Former England under 19s batsman Tattersall made one List A appearance for the Club during the 2013 season against Glamorgan at Headingley. His fielding ability led to him fielding as substitute for the England senior side on a number of occasions. His career highlight came in 2014 when he represented England under 19s at the ICC World Cup in the UAE where he helped his country reach the semi-finals.
