About our Northamptonshire CCC news
Latest news on Northamptonshire CCC, covering Northants Steelbacks, Steelbacks Women, County Championship, T20 Blast and One-Day Cup fixtures.
Northamptonshire County Cricket Club, known to supporters as Northants, is one of eighteen first-class county clubs in the English and Welsh domestic game. Formed in 1878 and elevated to first-class status in 1905, the county fields men's and women's sides across the County Championship, the T20 Blast and the One-Day Cup. The limited-overs team plays as the Northants Steelbacks, a name drawn from the Northamptonshire Regiment.
This feed brings together the latest results, squad news and match reports from Northamptonshire's campaigns across all formats. Coverage includes red-ball progress in the County Championship, white-ball form in the One-Day Cup, and the county's push for silverware in the T20 Blast, where Northants have twice been champions. Fans can follow selection changes, coaching updates and performances from both the men's and Steelbacks Women's squads.
Northamptonshire has long been a proving ground for outstanding overseas and homegrown talent. Sir Curtly Ambrose terrorised opposition batters during his spell at the club, while Allan Lamb and the Pakistani pairing of Mushtaq Mohammad and Sarfraz Nawaz helped deliver the county's most successful era in the 1970s and 1980s. More recently, all-rounder David Willey has represented both Northamptonshire and England, keeping the county's reputation for producing international cricketers very much alive.
Despite four runners-up finishes, Northamptonshire remains among a small group of counties yet to win the County Championship outright. Its trophy cabinet is stronger in limited-overs cricket, headlined by the 1992 NatWest Trophy triumph and T20 Blast titles won under Alex Wakely's captaincy. The club's home, The County Ground in Northampton, has staged first-class cricket since 1905 and remains one of the more intimate venues on the county circuit.
