Veteran England fast bowler Darren Gough has been unveiled as the new captain of Yorkshire.
The announcement comes three years after Gough, 36, left Headingley for Essex.
Gough, who in September 2004 became the first English bowler to take 200 one-day international wickets - asked not to be considered for England's winter tour of Pakistan in 2005 so he could spend more time with his children.
He then went on to accept an invitation to take part in reality TV show Strictly Come Dancing, which he won with dance partner Lilya Kopylova.
Last August he made a brief England return in two one-day internationals against Pakistan but suffered an injury and was omitted from the squad for ICC Champions Trophy.
Earlier this month, Gough was overlooked for the England World Cup squad.
