The Incora County Ground to host England Women

England will use The Incora County Ground as their training base ahead of an international summer series, which will take place exclusively in Derby.

The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) have today confirmed that England Women will play all of their international fixtures at The Incora County Ground in 2020, with bio-secure training camps taking place beforehand.

Additional details regarding future men’s and women’s training camps, as well as a fixture list for England’s behind closed doors series in Derby are set to be announced in the coming weeks.

The confirmation, which comes as the touring Pakistan men’s squad continue to train at The Incora County Ground, means that the Derbyshire first team squad will play all fixtures away from home this summer.

The men’s domestic season begins on Saturday 1 August, with four-day Bob Willis Trophy fixtures soon to be released.

Chief Executive, Ryan Duckett, said: “England’s international fixtures are massively important to the whole game at all levels and we are pleased to have been chosen to host these high-profile training camps and matches this summer.

“The Incora County Ground has developed into a prominent venue for international cricket, including hosting the ICC Women’s World Cup in 2017 and most recently a bio-secure training camp for the touring Pakistan squad.

“This means that Derbyshire will play all matches away from home once the domestic season starts and this decision has been made with the full support of our coaching and playing staff.”
