We are grateful for the support of our member clubs as we continue to strive for improvement and development of the game in line with the "Raising the Standards" report that paved the way for Premier League cricket.

We are also indebted to our competiton sponsors for their fantastic support.

The Banks Group have been with the League since day one, and we are very pleased that they will once again sponsor our three Cup competitions.
