How to become a county outground | The Cricketer Schools Podcast
About this episode
Derbyshire returned to Repton School in 2025, 37 years after last staging a men’s professional game there.
Repton’s Ian Pollock joins us to discuss how the school transformed itself into a List A cricket venue, gives his advice for other grounds seeking to host county games, and answers the question of whether a Championship game could be on the cards in the future…
The Cricketer's schools coverage is brought to you in association with our friends at Durant Sports.
