D40
The D40 competition, part of the ECB's national hardball disability offer, provides an exciting opportunity for players to showcase their skills in a competitive setting. These games are 40 overs a side, using all the same laws and regulations as mainstream county cricket, including powerplays and a 30-yard fielding circle.
The D40 Competition
The D40 competition is a hardball format specifically designed for players with disabilities. It features two main leagues:
- D40 Quest League: The premier competition, where the top teams battle for the championship.
- D40 Pursuit League: A secondary competition where the 2nd XI (a combined team with Dorset Cricket Board) compete.
All games follow the same structure as a standard county match, providing an inclusive and professional environment for players to develop and perform.
