In a move towards long-term development and opportunity for high-level competition in cricket, the NCCA created ‘The Challengers’. An initiative that nurtures talent across both the Men’s and Women’s game, competing under one unified umbrella against professional-level teams. In 2024, the NCCA funded the Challengers and saw them compete in multiple fixtures against first-class counties in both the men's and women's game.
The NCCA also funded trips to both European Cricket Championships seeing the men and women defend their titles.
In 2025, the Challengers will sit away from the NCCA. However, the NCCA will continue to support the Challengers and Challengers will continue to provide opportunities for National Counties cricketers to compete against First-Class counties.
