Spring is here!

Meteorological Spring has arrived. We have made it through the winter and I take great pleasure in saying that we will see some cricket, later this month.

What a wonderful thought! Derbyshire's recruitment has been excellent, the ground appears to be coming on well and the players head off to Zimbabwe shortly for some outside training and hopefully cricket.

I haven't seen much of the T20 World Cup, but I was able to watch a little of Sufyan Moqim, in action against England Lions. 

He looks a good player. He got his length wrong in one match, but consistently challenged batters to pick the right spin, something they didn't always manage successfully. I can see him being very useful, later in the summer as there were several false shots that would have reaped more rewards on another day (and with better field placing..)

I'm looking forward to news from Zimbabwe and seeing how our plans for 2026 are coming together. I'm really excited about my trips to Derby and Chesterfield this summer and I hope to catch up with a few of you while I'm around. 

That's it from me for now. Stay well in these next few weeks and hopefully we will all be ready for some excellent entertainment very soon...
