STOURBRIDGE BORN BEN KEEPS THE GLOVES ON
Ben Cox has pledged to continue his career at Worcestershire until the end of the 2023 County season. He initially rejected an offer to keep on with the club beyond the 2021 season, but the club has announced that he had agreed a two-year contract extension.
The Wordsley, Stourbridge-born wicketkeeper, who made his debut for Worcestershire County Cricket Club as a 17-year-old schoolboy in 2009, has also been awarded a benefit year in 2021, in recognition of his lengthy and outstanding service, the club said.
Cox reached 500 career dismissals last year, including 343 in first-class cricket, and he has scored 4,764 first-class runs.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC - MEETING UPDATE
We are hopeful that the Society’s programme of monthly speakers will be resumed in October. However, we cannot be certain until the government confirms that such meetings can take place and what restrictions may be imposed.
This years schedule here... for the planned programme which will be confirmed as soon as possible.

QUIZ QUESTIONS SOUGHT!
The Society is planning to hold quizzes with two major differences – There will be no pop music questions and no TV soaps questions!
Instead, ‘Crick-Quiz’ will comprise questions based on cricket and on general knowledge.
The Society invites members to provide cricket questions (and verifiable answers!) for a series of quizzes to be held in 2022 – our Jubilee year. Questions must be cricket-related and not requiring complicated answers. Please supply questions via the Contact Us page.
If you wish to take part as a contestant or raise a team on behalf of your cricket club, please let us know and we will send further details. Tell us via the Contact Us page.
