Tino Best has revealed that the work he has been doing to improve his action has been going well.

The West Indian pace bowler has missed the last LV= County Championship match against Nottinghamshire and four of the last five Clydesdale Bank 40 matches after developing some technical faults in his action.

The 28-year-old has been working in the Headingley nets with bowling coach Steve Oldham.

The last time the overseas star played was against Gloucestershire in the CB40 at Cheltenham on July 29 when he had figures of 1-33 from three overs.

Best said: “After the game at Gloucestershire I didn’t think my action was good enough, so I asked Martyn Moxon whether I could go back and work on it. I’m bowling quickly but my action can be better.

“If I can’t get into the team, then I must not feel too bad. I’ve just got to keep working and hopefully get back into the 11 soon.

“I’m not going to sulk about it because I’m really humble about this opportunity to play for Yorkshire. My job is to play cricket – and also to improve on my game.

“Steve Oldham has worked with some of the best players around, like Steve Kirby and Darren Gough, and he has been a great help to me. It has been going well with him.”

Best has struggled in all forms of the game, especially against Warwickshire and Essex in the Championship recently when Andrew Gale took the new ball off him for both sides’ second innings.

His next opportunity to return to the first team will come on Monday when the Tykes travel to the north-east to face Durham at the Riverside in a pivotal Championship encounter.
