Summer’s here!

It’s difficult to believe, but the domestic cricket season is almost upon us - the traditional curtain-raising encounter of MCC versus Champion County starts on Monday. Yes, that really is March 29th.

A round of one-sided university games begins a week on Saturday (April 3rd), and the first round of Championship matches the week after. Before you know it, England will be playing Bangladesh in the first Test at Lord’s.

The fact that Monday’s game is in Abu Dhabi, and will be played under lights with a pink ball is beside the point. The domestic season is a bloated and confusing mess.
