THE SUNDAY League Sunday League may refer to:

  • The Sunday League, the precursor tournament to the National League in English cricket.
 is back in English cricket after a new three-competition structure was announced for the game from next year onwards.

The 50-over cup competition with a Lord's final, won by Hampshire against Sussex last weekend, has been wiped out, as has the Pro40 tournament.

"The consensus among spectators and counties alike was for Twenty20 cricket to be played in June and July with a final later in the season and the qualification matches primarily at weekends."
