2048 Darmeni Cricket Season: Regional Cricket Preview
The 2048 Darmeni cricket season will see significant changes made to the domestic setup by the Darmeni Cricket Board. In an effort to improve the quality of play on the field as well as the financial strength of the game off it, twelve regional sides have been established to form the new top tier of Darmeni domestic cricket. The regional teams will compete in the first-class National Cricket Championship, a single round-robin league that will feature each team playing eleven four-day matches; as well as the list A National Cricket Trophy, where the teams will be split into six team divisions of North and South, playing a sixteen match league stage (home and away against divisional opponents, once against non-divisional opponents), followed by divisional championship matches as well as a final. A five-day match between a North XI and South XI will also be held to close out the season. The regional teams will not compete in the Twenty20 format, which instead will be the purview of the newly established nine team Darmeni Premier League.
If you were a fan of any of the old clubs, don't fret, they'll still compete albeit at a lower level, as each regional cricket board will oversee competitions for its cricket clubs. These will include one-day leagues and knock-out cups played mainly over the weekends, as well as mid-week evening T20 competitions. The club season will come to an end with the National Club Cricket Championship (one-day), the National Club T20 Championship and the Inter-League Trophy (for league XI's).
