Lancashire County Cricket Club

Lancashire County Cricket Club has appointed a new chief executive, Kenyon, who will lead a review of the club. The announcement was reported by the BBC. No further details about the scope of the review or Kenyon's background were provided in the reports, but the appointment puts a new figure in charge of assessing the running of the historic Manchester-based county cricket club.

Durham, already crowned Division Two champions, closed their County Championship campaign with a draw against Lancashire. The result ended a season in which Durham secured promotion after topping the second tier. Attention now turns to their return to Division One next year, with supporters and pundits reflecting on a strong domestic summer for the club.
