Hello All,

I live in Florida, USA and our T20 season started in March. We have Florida Cricket Conference that organizes T20 and T30 tournaments for all the teams in the Central Florida region. In these tournaments, mostly men's age between 18 - 55 years participate. Most players are from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, West Indian islands, England, Bangladesh, New-Zealand, and Australia. This tournament is only for the Florida Teams. However, there are other tournaments for the teams from all over US such as American college cricket.

I have been always curious about cricket seasons in England. Would anyone please share how it is organized and who all can participate? Does it start at the same time at different parts of England and is there a tournament that include teams from different parts of England.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Quick answer - season is April to September. Normally there are a couple of friendly games, 18 league games and then possibly a post season friendly. Games played on Saturday. Sunday friendlies are still happening but less frequent than they use to be.

Leagues are County or regional and generally start around the same time. Some leagues with 22 games start in late April, others with 18 games start early May. Most ending the 1st or 2nd week of September.

Outside the professional game
There's the National village cup May to Sept. and in the winter the national indoor league cup.

I have a 22 game Saturday league season and a 20 game Sunday one. Very lucky in our area to have a very good Sunday league consisting of 6 divisions
