    English Domestic Season 2026

    They signed four players from other counties this winter: Briggs, Leaning, Price and Goodman. That's joint top with Leicestershire by my reckoning. I imagine that might not have a full compliment of overseas players in 2026.

    He picked up an injury in his only test, iirc. Rumours he and Brook don't get on.

    English Domestic Season 2026

    The First Class Counties' second XI fixtures out on NV Play: https://live.nvplay.com/ecb/ have to fiddle around with the date (first) and competition filters but they are there.

    *Official* U19 Cricket World Cup 2026 in Zimbabwe/Namibia

    One name who, last winter was selected on a Lions tour and is the youngest to score a century for the England Under-19s team, is clearly missing: 17 year old Rocky Flintoff Lancashire announced in April last year he had been left out of their championship squad as he "has suffered a 'lumbar...

    English Domestic Season 2026

    Lancashire finally admitted they have given a contract to Arav Shetty after allowing him to look elsewhere on graduating from the club's academy after which he turned to SACA. Their graphics designer thinks that covers 2028 and his maiden first class wicket was so good they mentioned it twice...

    Simple then Stokes can choose between a born and bred (and schooled in the County) Cumbrian and one just schooled in Cumbria (like Brook also was). Forget Porter. All that's needed is a recall for Livi to replace Jacks.

    Will McCullum be sacked if England loses Ashes ?

    Lazy headline maybe but not too far off, given no one else is likely to be giving him instructions. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/cj4lnxyyrrjo

    Will McCullum be sacked if England loses Ashes ?

    Yes, short of winning it, however unlikely that is. Can't help but think "I will not be told what to do..." is not a good example to set. Is it a line of defence for the players? Might also help the ECB to save money from ending his contract early. Tell him what to do, knowing he will walk...

    Will McCullum be sacked if England loses Ashes ?

    Did any of those sign off the tour schedule? Would they not have suggested it and it be signed up a higher-up in the ECB?

    McCullum says he wont be told what to do whilst accepting tweaks needed.

    *Official* 5th Test (Sydney) 4-8 January

    So was I .... but at least they have never increased the charges from £5 pm or £50 per year since 2018. Small mercies I know. Now it's the lack of development which annoys me more.

    Or doesn't want Brook as the next captain

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Reviews don't always have the correct scope. England were under prepared and unaware of what was needed to win, because they cut out the noise to use the much repeated refrain. Much of the fault lies with the ECB themselves. Will their thorough review look at their own role in signing off a...

    The only problem with Bashir is that after picking up that injury he has had nowhere to play to get back into any sort of form prior to arriving in Australia. No between 3rd Test v India in July and squad v Lions warm up in November. That's what happens when championship cricket is ignored and...

    IPL 2026

    Sorry OP was badly worded. Meant Bangladesh joined Pakistan players as being not permitted / vetoed by the BCCI. This is what happens though when politics meets and influences sport.
