Speaking about the deal, Jawad Ashraf, CEO, Virtua, commented:

We’re excited to be partnering with Yorkshire County Cricket Club, discussions are already taking place around what could be our first NFT collection.

Following Williams Racing, it’s another great partnership for us to explore activities that will transition into our soon-to-launch metaverse.

Virtua are the ideal partner to collaborate with as we look to take Yorkshire County Cricket Club to the next stage in fan engagement, the metaverse. We’ve been interested in exploring NFTs for some time, what they can offer our fans in terms of real-world utility and in the metaverse.
