Notable events

[edit | edit source]
  • Lancashire, after suffering severe financial losses despite a dry summer,[4] would propose radical reductions in the county cricket fixture list.[5] This would lead that club's committee to ultimately propose a reduction in county matches to two days.[6] After increasing financial losses throughout county cricket the following season, this reduction would be carried out for 1919,[note 1][7] but was almost instantly considered a failure and a reversion to three-day matches took place for 1920.

Notes

[edit | edit source]
  1. ^ After the 1914 season, World War I meant that no county cricket was played between 1915 and 1918
