TEENAGE quick Matt Fisher has urged his Yorkshire team-mates to take responsibility and not rely on the county’s England players when they take on Essex today.

The Vikings tackle the Eagles at Chelmsford in the Royal London one-day Cup quarter-final, starting at 2pm.

All of Yorkshire’s England players are available bar Joe Root, meaning their team will have a star-studded look with Ashes winners Jonny Bairstow, Gary Ballance and Adam Lyth all in contention.

Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid are also available before linking up with England’s one-day international squad for their forthcoming series against Australia.

Fisher, however, is keen for other players such as himself make sure the county get the job done and make up for last year’s last-eight defeat to Durham.

“It will be good to have the England lads back, but we cannot just rely on them. Everyone has got to take responsibility,” said the 17-year-old.

“It’s nice to have them back, and we will be confident for the game. But it is massive to be missing Glenn Maxwell. He has been awesome. He has the firepower to win a game on his own.

“Bairstow has the same kind of temperament, he could do the same, so it is great to have the likes of him back and Lythy at the top of the order.

“(Alex) Leesy and Lythy have been really good over the last couple of years opening in all formats.”

Fisher has made six RL50 appearances this summer, taking seven wickets. He also hit a useful 34 from number 11 in the order during the defeat to Somerset at Scarborough earlier this month.

He is one of the reasons why coach Jason Gillespie, win or lose today, believes Yorkshire have taken significant strides forward as a one-day side in 2015.

“We’re only going to be better going forward,” he added. “We’ve brought a couple of players in who have done well.

“I’ve been pleased with a couple of the young batters. I’ve also been pleased with young Matt Fisher, and Karl Carver has done okay when he’s had opportunities.”
