Wales Cricket Board: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has confirmed the formation of Tier 2 and Tier 3 in its revamped women’s domestic cricket structure, set to take full effect from 2025. Derbyshire, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, Kent, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Middlesex, Sussex, Worcestershire and Yorkshire will form Tier 2. The 10 counties will play 50-over and 20-over competitions, with further information on the overall structure and schedule to come out soon.

Tier 3 status, meanwhile, will be awarded to all National Counties who would like to participate in the new competition from 2025. The ECB has also announced the formation of a knock-out cup competition consisting of teams from all three tiers.

The cup competition aims to provide all Counties with the opportunity to compete against each other, play at some of the country’s biggest venues, and give players across the pyramid the chance to test their skills on an elevated platform.
