Yorkshire are hoping to have the services of both their most destructive bowler and England's most successful captain for their next two county championship games.
Martyn Moxon and Darren Gough hope to have Matthew Hoggard and Michael Vaughan back in the Yorkshire line-up for both the four day game against Lancashire and the following Warwickshire match. The latter finishes in time for both players to return to the England fold to face India in the first Test match.
Should England give the green light for their inclusion Yorkshire's championship hopes would receive a huge boost. Since Hoggard's departure Yorkshire haven't won a championship match, something they were finding almost easy whilst the shaggy haired destroyer was opening the bowling.
Whilst the bowling department has been struggling without Hoggard, the batting has remained relatively solid. However if Vaughan was made available he would be favourite to replace Craig White and open the batting with young Joe Sayers.
The four day Roses battle will be televised live on Sky, one of the few championship games on the box this year. Yorkshire fans will be hoping they'll be able to watch two of England's finest increase the White Rose's championship lead and dent Lancashire's hopes of a first outright title win since 1934.
