Speaking on the Second XI fixtures, Second XI / Batting Coach, Owen Dawkins said:

"We are delighted to have a more comprehensive and competitive fixture list for 2022 season. For our Professional players, it’s important that those missing out on First XI selection have game time to produce strong performances and for our Academy players it’s important for them to see the step up if they are putting in performances in age group and club cricket."

Red ball cricket

The Second XI Championship fixtures will be played over four days, a decision which was made for the 2020 season. Additionally, there is no longer a South and North group. The ECB setup three fixtures, with the counties responsible for setting up the remaining seven matches of the Second XI Championship.

T20 competition

This will run over a three-week block. The first two weeks of the competition will be in the lead-up to the 1st XI Vitality Blast matches.  The third week will coincide with the start of the 1st XI T20 fixtures.
