Worcestershire's T20 hopes dashed

Worcestershire's head coach, Alan Richardson, has stated that the team's T20 cricket must improve significantly for the upcoming season. This comes after their failure to qualify for the quarter-finals in the most recent competition. The 2018 winners concluded their campaign by finishing at the bottom of the tight Central & West Group. They secured six wins and six defeats over their 12 matches.

The Rapids were in contention for a knockout stage spot for much of the season, winning six out of their first ten fixtures. However, a subsequent run of back-to-back losses ultimately ended their hopes. Richardson expressed his deep disappointment, acknowledging that the team had given themselves a chance to qualify. He noted that reaching that position was a significant achievement given the competitive nature of their group.
