Cricket

The School Games National Finals in 2024 for cricket will be an expanded event. This year will see the introduction of three new teams with Ireland, Scotland and West Indies U-19 sides joining the competition.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will enter three sides in the competition as in previous years. One of these ECB teams will have players representing the South Asian Cricket Academy as well as ACE, a charity that supports players from African and/or Caribbean backgrounds included in the team. Both of these ECB charity partners help to integrate players from their communities into the Talent Pathway and provide their highest potential players with an opportunity to experience this level of the game.

Teams will be split across two venues and will compete in two separate T20 competitions.
