SUSSEX SHOWCASE

Wednesday 20 May 2026
T20 Friendly
Horsham

Berkshire will face Sussex Sharks in a National Counties T20 Friendly at the picturesque Horsham Cricket Club Ground.

The Sharks, Sussex’s T20 side, bring established Vitality Blast experience, offering Berkshire players the chance to test themselves against top-tier white-ball opposition in the shortest format.

This early-season encounter promises an exciting, high-tempo contest and a fantastic platform to showcase emerging and established Berkshire talent.


 
HAMPSHIRE SHOWCASE

Friday 17 July 2026
50-Over Match
Nursery Ground, Utilita Bowl

The second fixture sees Berkshire travel to face Hampshire County Cricket Club in a 50-over clash.

Hampshire’s side will primarily feature 2nd XI players alongside 1st XI squad members not involved in The Hundred, ensuring a highly competitive and development-focused contest.

The match will be staged on the Nursery Ground at the Utilita Bowl, as preparations will already be underway on the main ground ahead of The Hundred.


 
A Major Opportunity

The ‘SHOWCASE X2’ fixtures underline Berkshire Cricket’s continued ambition to create meaningful opportunities for its players against First-Class counties.

These matches not only provide invaluable high-level experience but also strengthen relationships with leading counties across the domestic game.

Further details, including squad announcements and supporter information, will be released in due course.
