Mainly because if you do you will quickly find that they have not been on that often over the course of the season. Apart from the Roses fixtures and one early One Day Cup (which if I recall was rained off) they have not been on much more than that.
But as the last week has seen the final round of matches in both the T20 Blast and One Day Cup, Sky will obviously have wanted to show the most meaningful qualification matches. And Yorkshire's position in both competitions meant the club was involved in some of the most relevant fixtures, so it was difficult to justifiably avoid showing them.
I would also assume the back-to-back matches against Durham and Warwickshire were partly also logistical for Sky. Notwithstanding that the Durham one was a must-win match for the home side to progress to the quarter finals, and yesterday's was similarly so for the visitors, whilst Yorkshire ideally needed to win one of those matches to guarantee their place. Although as it was their net run rate saw them survive at Durham's expense.
It will be quite annoying for Yorkshire if Rashid does not play at Edgbaston now after he was withdrawn from the ODC matches by the England management to be ready for the third test.
