England's first-class counties are bracing themselves for the earliest start to a championship season on record because of the need to complete the campaign before the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka during September.
Seven four-day matches are scheduled to start on 5 April, so continuing arelentless creep that saw the four-day game begin on 9 April in 2010 and 8 April this year. The development has been met without a murmur of protest from the counties thanks to increasingly settled April weather. Indeed, if weather patterns persist, some chief executives might be more concerned about playing in August.
Early-April starts do put considerable pressure upon groundstaff to get consistent grass growth into their squares and avoid the sort of uneven surfaces likely to bring a rash of two-day finishes. A warm autumn will have helped considerably in that regard; most of the growing has already been done.
September is no longer solely the province of English cricket and with the England and Wales Cricket Board seemingly unable to fight England's case at International Cricket Council level, the counties must make the best of it. Even without the influence of World Twenty20, the advent of the Champions League world club t20tournament has demanded that the English season finishes no later than the middle of the month.
No other country places the emphasis on maintaining such an extensive professional circuit and the ECB's generally firm stance that the county season must remain sacrosanct, essential to the reputation of the first-class game, has not prevented it shifting the season roughly a week further forward than it otherwise might.
The Clydesdale Bank 40-over final takes place on 15 September and with England's first World Twenty20 match not due to start until six days later, the counties involved will be pressing England to allow any international players to take part and fly out to Sri Lanka perhaps one or two days later than the rest of the party.
With England's agreement, the CB40 final need not be undermined as carelessly as last season. England's floodlit one-day game against India in Cardiff on a Friday night in September left Surrey's Jade Dernbach, and Somerset's Craig Kieswetter and Jos Buttler, driving from South Wales to London in the early hours of Saturday before playing in a major domestic final that same day. England's failure to give even county cricket's most prestigious matches breathing space is the biggest sin in a grossly overladen calendar.
Lancashire's championship win in 2011, their first outright since 1934, took full advantage of their temporary move to Liverpool while the square was turned through 90 degrees at Old Trafford and work began on a £32m redevelopment scheme.
They are in no rush to abandon the advantage. Lancashire's one-day matches shift back to Manchester, but their championship defence will again be heavily based upon Aigburth. Their first four home championship games, and five in all, take place on Merseyside. The commitment to outgrounds is not as obvious elsewhere, with Gloucestershire abandoning Gloucester next summer and Essex ending links with Southend.
Lancashire, as the champion county, also take part in the season's curtain-raiser against the MCC, which is again scheduled for Abu Dhabi, from 27 March.
The Friends Life t20 tournament runs from 12 June to 8 July, leaving the LV Championship and the CB40 to try to make headway against the rival attraction of the Olympics from late July.
The ECB is due to vote in January on proposals by the former ECB chairman David Morgan to slim down the first-class fixture list by a maximum of 12 days' cricket from 2014. Seven international teams are due to visit England next summer, with West Indies, South Africa, Australia, Australia A, India women, West Indies women and Ireland Under-19s all touring.
