We look forward to celebrating that evolving history throughout this 2025 season, whilst firmly focusing on the future and continuing the development of the next generation of cricketers.”

The anniversary celebrations will kick-start with a gala dinner and keynote address from former England cricket captain, David Gower OBE, on Saturday, May 3.
