NCCA Player ID Day 2023

The NCCA annual Player ID Day took place on Friday 3rd March at the ECB National Performance Centre in Loughborough. Player ID Days have been created to give the first-class counties an opportunity to come along and witness some of the top talent from across the NCCA county sides. 

The NCCA were joined by representatives from 7 first-class counties: Leicestershire CCC, Essex CCC, Yorkshire CCC, Middlesex CCC, Northants CCC, Glamorgan CCC and Durham CCC.

Not only is this a fantastic opportunity for the NCCA players to train at a world-leading facility, but it is also a great initiative that supports the talent pathway into the first-class game.

A county scout commented “A brilliant initiative to get a group of players all together in one place to showcase their skills in front of first-class county coaches”.

Players were nominated from each of the 20 National Counties Cricket sides, leading to a number of promising young players taking part in this experience.

Below is a list of those that attended:

• Amrit Basra – Bedfordshire
• Mungo Russell – Berkshire
• Rhodri Lewis Berkshire
