2022 English cricket season
The 2022 English cricket season began on 7 April 2022 and finished on 29 September 2022. It was the 122nd season in which the County Championship has been an official competition and features First-Class, List-A and Twenty20 cricket competitions throughout England and Wales.
The 18 first-class counties competed in the 2022 County Championship, One-Day Cup, and T20 Blast competitions, whilst women's teams competed for the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Charlotte Edwards Cup.
The season also saw the second edition of The Hundred, for both men and women.
In January 2022, the ECB announced that the Bob Willis Trophy, which was played to end the County Championship in 2020 and 2021, would not be played in 2022; managing director of county cricket Neil Snowball said that the ECB was discussing the future format of the trophy with Willis's family.
