| ***APPLICATIONS HAVE NOW CLOSED*** |
Applications are now open to take part in our Men’s Open Trials at New Road on Sunday 18 September 2022.
Cricketers over the age of 18 and playing at Club 1st XI standard or higher can apply, and other than being UK based with a right to work here there is no selection criteria for the trials, and places will be handed out to players on a first come first served basis, until capacity is reached.
During the session senior Worcestershire coaches will put players through their paces in a net and fielding session, and will also provide feedback to all attendees after the sessions.
Female cricketers will also get the same opportunity to be picked up and have the opportunity to do so at our Open Female Trial at Bromsgrove School on Sunday 2 April 2023. Applications for the female trial day will open early 2023.
Worcestershire’s Ben Gibbon was balancing a full-time job with playing National Counties cricket a year ago, has reflected on his last 12 months in cricket, after being offered a professional contract following a successful trial with the second eleven.
Academy Coach Elliot Wilson commented, “We understand that players come from all sorts of backgrounds with a mixture of strengths and weaknesses.
We are keen to give the opportunities to any cricketer who feels they can still play in the professional game and we feel that the open trials offer a place for players who have fallen out of the traditional pathway system or who have developed in a different way.”
