Reigning ECAD National Deaf T20 champions, ECAD North open the season of Deaf Cricket at Sefton Park in Liverpool on Sunday.

Naming a team of 13 full of ECAD members, they will bat & field 11 players using the early season opportunity to get everyone involved. ECAD captain, James Dixon, is normally Saturday 1st XI captain at Sefton Park which will no doubt add some spice to the occasion.

There are ECAD debuts for Christopher McElroy and Gabriel Francis and we welcome back James O'Connor after a couple of years absence.
