The pre-season schedule is all about putting in the hours to build up fitness levels ahead of the opening game of the season.
With the 2021 plans taking place on UK soil this year, the squad have been able to enjoy a few weeks of training outside in small groups thanks to the work of Head Groundsman, Stuart Kerrison and his team.
The pre-season schedule concludes with games against Lancashire and Kent in the next two weeks. However, ahead of those red-ball fixtures the team spent a day at the Chelmsford Sports and Athletics Centre for fitness testing.
The squad were put through their paces across a range of tests including aerobic fitness with the dreaded yo-yo test.
The 2021 season gets underway on Thursday 8 April against Worcestershire at The Cloudfm County Ground with the first of 3 pre-season games beginning on Tuesday 23 March versus Lancashire. You can become a Member in 2021 with packages available now online.
