It was finally confirmed yesterday that the Warwickshire Cricket League will relocate to India for this season. Chairman Graham Seal said that weather and infrastructure was a major consideration in ruling out the initial front-runner in Worcestershire.
He said that the likelihood of rain affecting many of the matches and the lack of an adequate transport network meant that the ambitious plan to stage matches in Worcester, Pershore and Evesham was always going to struggle to get off the ground.
It was hoped until recently that the league could be played out in Warwickshire as normal, but the deteriorating security situation in the county and the number of police needed to patrol the Woodloes in Warwick following a spate of car vandalism meant security couldn't be guaranteed at Offchurch Lapworth's home matches.
