Moving forward, the 2024 structure is likely to be similar to that of 2023 after the counties rejected proposals for a new six-team top flight and 10-match season, which was suggested by the Sir Andrew Strauss-led high-performance review. The change has come about to allow teams to have red-ball and white-ball specialists in their squads when the Championship and Blast overlap. The Kookaburra will be deployed in the County Championship for the June 25-28 and July 10-13 fixtures - coinciding with the Ashes - during which all 18 counties will be in action twice.Ĭounties are also now able to have four overseas players on their roster at any one time - up from three - although they are only able to field two each in the County Championship, One-Day Cup and Vitality Blast. That includes Australia, where England are winless in their last 15 Tests, losing 13 and drawing two. The Kookaburra ball, which usually swings and seams less than the Dukes ball, is used mainly in the southern hemisphere. How does the County Championship scoring work Scoring of Points County Championship A team is awarded 16 points for a victory, with both sides earning eight points for a tie and eight points apiece if a match is drawn.
