The Yorks only policy couldnt last forever, but there was only one reason it changed when it did. And that was for Vaughan to be able to play. Even Yorks were not going to pass up such an amazing talent just because the first few weeks of his life were spent outside the county.When Yorkshire got rid of their Yorks-only policy, who was the first English cricketer to play for Yorkshire but was from a different county (or played for a different county) out of interest?
IIRC SRT was the first cricketer ever to play for Yorkshire who was not from the county.
As for playing for a different county, Stemp is probably a good guess.
