Nominations for the 2026/27 winter Youth Development Cricket (YDC) squads are now open!

Nominations are now open until 12pm on Tuesday, 30 June, for any players not currently involved in the Devon Cricket Performance Pathway.

We recommend that club coaches, team managers, or junior coordinators nominate players for the Performance Pathway. Any Wicketz Hub, MCC Foundation Hub and Super 1s Hub can also nominate players for the Performance Pathway.

Parents, guardians or primary carers cannot nominate their own children for observation.

Nominated players must be strong and competent cricketers who currently perform at, or have the potential to perform at, a standard above club cricket. Nominators are urged to refer to our Talent Development Framework before nominating players.
