In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

    On behalf of Cricket Australia, I welcome all players, parents and families to this year's Under 19 Male National Championships. Cricket Australia’s Underage National Championships are an integral part of the Australian Cricket Pathway, and continue to provide important development opportunities for our emerging stars. These championships have been the largest contributor of talent to the men’s national team since their establishment, and have helped the likes of Australian captains Tim Paine and Aaron Finch rise from young guns to international leaders. We have already seen a group of players make the step up to JLT Sheffield Shield cricket this summer, after playing at last season’s Under 19 Male National Championships. In the first half of the season, Jack Edwards and Jason Sangha have made their debuts for New South Wales, as has Lloyd Pope for South Australia and Nathan McSweeney for Queensland. It just goes to show that the next level is not that far away. To all of our players, this is an exciting phase of your sporting journey and I encourage you to embrace this experience. Enjoy the challenge of testing yourselves against the best players from right across Australia, and the opportunity to play with your teammates and create memories that will last throughout your cricketing careers and beyond.
