COUNTY CRICKET IN 2016
Change is afoot in the County Championship as Yorkshire bid to win their third consecutive title.
This season, the visiting captain will be offered the chance to bowl first in every game and a toss will take place only if he declines that option.
Plus, from next season, Division One will be made up of just eight teams rather than nine, meaning that while two sides will be relegated from the top flight, there is only one promotion place up for grabs in Division Two.
Lancashire are out to defend their T20 Blast crown, with the competition retaining the same format as last year with the 18 counties split into two groups - North and South.
The top four sides from each group will progress to the quarter-finals with the winners advancing to Finals Day at Edgbaston, where the two semi-finals and the final will take place on August 20.
The Royal London One-Day Cup follows a similar format with the sides again split into two groups and the top four in each progressing to the knockout stages.
The final will take place at Lord's on September 17. Last year saw Gloucestershire edge Surrey in the final.
