Club spokesman Vince O’Grady, said: “Club captain Ian Dennis thinks we should ensure we can offer everyone cricket who wants it.

“We also, as an absolute must, must ensure we allow some of the good young cricketers the opportunity to play senior cricket, without it being with the added pressure of league points at stake.

“Obviously, that will need a commitment from someone to run the team and do it in the aim to develop young players as well as allowing players who may not get a game on a Saturday to play.”
