Cricket Season 2026: CUVASPORTS Predictions

The smell of freshly cut grass, picket fences and sight screens being painted white, one knows the cricket season is only just around the corner.

In England and Wales there is much to look forward to the 2026 cricket season - with the poor showing by England in the Ashes Series in 2025-26, night club bouncer fights in New Zealand, player injuries and poor form against Australia and a T20 World Cup semi-final defeat England at the hands of the eventual winners India things need to improve fast!
