Cumbria know their fixtures for the 2023 National Counties competitions, although venues still have to be confirmed.
Although the venues are still being planned the fixtures follow the same pattern as in 2022.
Cumbria remain in the same sections of the T20 and One Day group stages with the identical counties as last year.
The matches will be played on a reverse (home and away) basis compared with the 2022 season.
In the three-day Championship, Cumbria CCC remain in Eastern Division Two, now renamed as the Durrant Cricket National Counties Championship.
The NCCA One Day Trophy is once again being played in group stages followed by quarter finals, semi-finals and a final. The top two in each ‘regional’ group qualify for the quarter-finals, the group winners having a home match.
The format for the Twenty20 remains the same as in 2022, being played in regional group stages (two matches on each day) followed by a Finals Day for the counties which finish top of their group.
The county should play at least six home venues during 2022 and grateful thanks are extended to the hosts for agreeing to stage the fixtures.
