We’ve been made to wait for it, but Essex’s Vitality Blast campaign finally gets underway tomorrow and it will do so in front of a home crowd at Chelmsford.
The weather is set fair and so fans can look forward to playing Gloucestershire in what would be the first T20 since 2019 to see any play between the two sides – weather and covid have previously hampered the fixture.
Tickets are still available for the game against Gloucestershire on Tuesday 30 May and there will be no better place to be than at The Cloud County Ground supporting Simon Harmer and his Eagles.
If you’re looking to sink your teeth into some Vitality Blast material ahead of Essex’s opener, you’re in the right place. On the eve of the tournament, Essex Cricket TV’s Live Stream Host, Simon Ward sat down with some of the Eagles’ stars to talk about the upcoming campaign.
The Vitality Blast Preview Show will air tonight (Monday 29 May) at 6pm on Essex Cricket TV.
