Cricket

Following its successful School Games debut in 2017, Cricket returned to the competition in 2022 to give 39 players, selected from eight Regional Academies, the chance to compete over three days of T20 competition.

The ECB utilised the National School Games Finals as a key selection event for the U19s Women’s World Cup and we are looking forward to seeing the players test themselves over three days of T20 competition.
