ECB names counties to host women's teams from 2025

The England and Wales Cricket Board has announced the eight counties that will host professional women's teams as part of a major restructure of the domestic game from 2025.

In 2025, the eight selected counties will replace the regions that have competed in the Charlotte Edwards Cup and Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy in recent years. There will be £8m of new funding every year for the women's domestic game by 2027, taking annual investment to about £19m. "More professional teams means more women able to make a career out of being a cricketer, more role models to inspire future generations, and more of the country having a women's professional team to follow nearby."
