Founded in 1896, Knowle & Dorridge Cricket Club (K&D) are one of the foremost clubs in the Midlands. K&D priorities are to increase adult participation, community engagement, junior development and improved infrastructure. K&D is situated between the ‘villages’ of Knowle and Dorridge on Station Road, Dorridge, Solihull and the second ground is situated on Lugtrout Lane, Solihull. The club colours are 'green and gold’ and the club emblem is the ‘Bear and Ragged Staff’. K&D currently run 4 teams on Saturdays and 1 team on Sundays. The club has one of the strongest junior sections in the area.

Foreword

As we welcome in another season, it is only right that we reflect on the huge successes of 2017. The 1st XI were crowned champions of the Birmingham & District Premier Cricket League, which was a great achievement for the club. Our 1st XI were brilliantly led by Sam Reddish and success was down to a real team effort. The 2nd XI also finished 2nd in the Premier League, with the 3rd and 4th XIs managing to avoid relegation. We are immensely proud of our players. For 2018, the club has demonstrated a clear ambition to succeed again by once again assembled strong sides – blending home grown talent with experience – and managing to attract the brilliance of international players, Ian Bell and George Worker. Our juniors are going from strength to strength, we are helping to mould country cricketers and success is being achieved through projects such as our pavilion refurbishment project. On behalf of the Club Management Committee, I would also like to personally thank our valued sponsors, supporters and volunteers for their continued support. I wish all our players and teams the very best for 2018. Ian Maddocks Club Chairman

K&D CC 2 2018 Adult Season

Birmingham Premier League Champions, K&D have pulled off two major signing of international superstar Ian Bell and the resigning of New Zealand's international all-rounder George Worker for the 2018 season. Three times ashes winner Bell joins the club for 2018 and brings a huge amount of experience and stature. Bell played 118 tests, scoring twenty-two Test centuries, totalling over 7000 runs and four ODI 100s. Ian explained his decision to join the K&D; "I am really looking forward to joining he Birmingham league champions for the 2018 season as their Warwickshire professional. K&D has the best setup in the Midlands from juniors all the way up to the 1st team." K&D 1st XI captain Sam Reddish commented on the signings; “I am over the moon to have someone of Ian’s ability and vast professional experience. His wealth of international experience will be priceless. George was unbelievable in 2017, breaking records – scoring 1569 runs, including nine centuries, at an average of 142.64 in 15 innings."
