Cricket returns for another year of action at the School Games National Finals for 2026.
For the 2024 School Games National Finals, cricket introduced three new teams with Ireland, Scotland and West Indies U-19 sides joining the competition.
This year, Ireland U19s and Scotland U19s return to the competition, and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will enter four sides in the competition. The fourth ECB team is a new addition to the competition and will see an U17s group compete for the first time.
Teams will be split across two venues and will compete in two separate T20 competitions for the Lydia Greenway T20 Cup and the Ebony Rainford Brent T20 Cup!
