Durham CCC 2026


Has the Afghan spinner Ghafari signed for this season? The website bio of him still says he has signed for the remainder of the season (2025) and will be available for Essex on Monday - so clearly not updated it since September.

Yes he's with us this season.
 
Dont know if it's already been mentioned but our usual season opener against the Students begins on a Saturday this year (28th March).

Previous seasons have usually seen this game beginning on the last Tuesday in March. The weekend is better tbh.
 
Can't wait. Counting the days now.

I’ve found myself in a similar state today, oddly. I know it’s still ages away in reality and I’m enjoying the Winter Olympics but I’m actually feeling really optimistic about DCCC this year. Think the overseas signing has a lot to do with it.

Seems sensible, two weekend days gives casual supporters more scope to attend atleast part of it.

That'll be Sam Connors from Sydney? 🤔
Elliott is yet to be confirmed but, if so,yes. Ideal age,good stats, and will obviously be keen to prove himself in England.

You’re right, I got carried away, especially as it’s now being reported he’s going to Glamorgan.


On the topic though, it’s essential we sign a bowler as our second overseas in my opinion. I’d take Codi Yusuf back if he’s available.

I'm sure every genuine supporter hopes that he will do well but,equally,cynicism is fully understandable.
The current Durham attack is very worrying.
What we've seen of Bailey is very underwhelming.
He's played very limited number of games and people are criticising every time he now has a bad game people are going to slag him off
