MIDDLESEX CRICKET TO PLAY TWO MATCHES AT WORMSLEY IN 2026<\/p>\n
Middlesex Cricket can today announce that the Club will play two fixtures at Wormsley Estate this summer against Bucks Cricket and MCC.<\/p>\n
The Men\u2019s First Eleven will play Bucks Cricket on Thursday 2nd July in a NCCA showcase fixture, whilst the Second Eleven will take on a MCC XI a week later (Thursday 9th July).<\/p>\n
In addition to the two fixtures, Middlesex’s men will also utilise the facility for training on a couple of occasions during 2026.<\/p>\n
This news comes following the release of MCC\u2019s cricket strategy earlier today which outlines that there will be a pilot at Wormsley as the current demand on the main ground at Lord\u2019s is unsustainable.<\/p>\n
It must be noted that this arrangement does not impact on any Middlesex matches and the Club is committed to playing outground cricket at Merchant Taylors\u2019 School, Radlett Cricket Club and Richmond Cricket Club.<\/p>\n
Our Men\u2019s Metro Bank One-Day Cup campaign gets underway on Tuesday 21st July when Essex visit Radlett Cricket Club, where there will be three group matches on top of the clash against Yorkshire at Lord\u2019s in early August.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the matches at Wormsley Estate, Middlesex\u2019s Director of Cricket Alan Coleman said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted to be helping our friends and long-term partners at MCC. This is an exciting venture and one that we are happy to get behind.<\/p>\n
\u201cWormsley is a top cricket facility and one that players at all levels of the game love playing at, so for our players to have the opportunity to play there will be fantastic.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe two matches that Middlesex will play shall provide valuable 50-over practice for our squad ahead of the One-Day Cup campaign, which gets underway a few weeks after.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MIDDLESEX CRICKET TO PLAY TWO MATCHES AT WORMSLEY IN 2026 Middlesex Cricket can today announce that the Club…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":410653,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-410652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410652"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410652\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410653"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
