Norfolk County Cricket Club is one of the county clubs which make up the National Counties in the National Counties Cricket Association (NCCA) cricket structure which was re-branded in 2020 after being known as the Minor Counties Cricket Association (MCCA) for 124 years.
Each year‚ Norfolk play matches in the NCCA 3-Day Championship, 50 Over and T20 trophy. Norfolk last won the Knockout Competition in 2009.
Norfolk County Cricket Club was set up in 1827 and soon became known as being “second only to the Marylebone club”. After playing at the Colman’s Lakenham ground for nearly 125 years‚ Norfolk moved to Horsford’s beautiful Manor Park ground in 2001.
All Home Championship, 50 Over and T20 matches are now played at Manor Park‚ Horsford‚ Norwich , NR10 3AQ.
The National Counties Cricket Association has reluctantly decided to cancel this season’s Twenty20 Cup competition. After seeing last year’s entire match programme called off because of the coronavirus pandemic, it was hoped that all three formats could be played this summer. Although organised outdoor sports, including cricket, are due to be allowed from 29th March, following discussions with member counties, it was felt additional factors meant that it would not be possible to run the T20 competition. Among the logistical issues, overnight stays, which would be necessary for some fixtures, plus lengthy travelling distances, are not, in the NCCA’s view, ‘essential’ at this moment in time.
Alternative options, including potentially playing the T20 competition later in the summer, were looked at, but not found to be workable. The health, well-being and safety of all players, officials and spectators is of paramount importance to the NCCA, which is why this decision has been taken. The NCCA remain positive that the 50-over format, due to start in June, and the Championship programme, scheduled to begin in July, will proceed as normal. However, we will continue to work closely with the ECB to ensure that any Government advice is fully adhered to.
