ALL 18 first-class counties will host at least one men’s and women’s double-header in a “bigger and better” Blast in 2025.
Next season will be the first time in the tournament’s history that all women’s and men’s county teams will play side by side in the Blast, while the women’s competition will be split into two.
One competition will be contested by eight counties from Tier One, who will play alongside the men in the Blast, while the remaining 10 counties will play in the Blast Women’s League Two.
