The 2024 season takes a new approach to the T20 format. A five-group format comprising four teams will battle it out for a place in the Super 12s mini-league. The top 4 performing teams will find themselves through to finals day. The One Day Trophy will be played in a group format with 5 teams across 4 groups. The top 2 teams across the 4 One Day groups will progress onto a knockout stage with quarter-finals, semi-finals and ultimately, the One Day Final.
The Durant Cricket National Counties Championship, which still plays a key part in the playing calendar, involves 2 leagues of 5 teams in each division, with promotion and relegation, for the bottom side in Division 1 and the top team in Division 2. This two-division approach will bring more competition, ensuring the top teams are playing against each other, with the winners of Division 1 in each region playing in the Championship Final.
This new structure will provide greater opportunities for younger players to get involved and represent their county. New governance introduced this year requires each county to play 8 players with an average of under 25 and 8 players that are ‘Home Grown’.This places greater focus on the development of talented local cricketers. We have also worked hard to minimise clashes with first-class cricket to enable our talented young NCCA players to seize openings within the first-class county pathway.
