News from Nottinghamshire County Cricket
We have today been informed by the England and Wales Cricket Board that there will be a further delay to the start of the county season, with no domestic cricket to be played before 1 August.
The ECB do, however, retain the ambition for a domestic calendar to begin later this summer, subject to ongoing advice from health experts and the government.
A number of scheduling options are being explored, including models that incorporate both red and white ball-cricket, matches being played at all First-Class grounds and the use of regional groups.
Plans are being drafted for matches behind closed doors and for games taking place with limited crowds in attendance in adherence with social distancing guidance.
As soon as we have any meaningful information on a revised schedule, we will share this with you.
