Some counties released theirs a fortnight or so ago and they began appearing on play cricket site. One (Kent I think) published theirs before Xmas.

Here goes in terms of local seconds (and under 18's in the school hols) from what I've gathered from multiple sites (all tbc officially)

March 30-Apr 1 Worcs v SACA (Kidderminster)
April 8-11 Warks v Derbyshire (Portland Rd)
April 15-18 Warks v Essex (Portland Rd)
April 21 Notts u18 v Warks u18 (50 ovs friendly tbc) (Lady Bay)
April 29-May 2 Warks v Sussex (Portland Rd)
May 6-9 Warks v Glamorgan (Portland Rd)
May 14-17 Notts v Warks (Lady Bay)

May 21 Bears v Somerset (Portland Rd)
May 22 Bears v Worcs (Portland Rd)
May 29 Bears v Glamorgan (Portland Rd)
June 5 Bears v SACA (Portland Rd)
June 11 Bears v Gloucs (Portland Rd)
June 18 Worcs v Bears (Bromsgrove School)

June 24-27 Warks v Worcs (Portland Rd)
July 4 Warks u18 v Lancs u18 (50 ovs friendly tbc) (Barnt Green)
July 11 Bears v SACA (Portland Rd)

July 18 Warks v SACA (50 ovs) (Portland Rd)

July 23-25 Warks u18 v Gloucs u18 (Portland Rd)
July 30 Worcs v Zimbabwe A (tbc)
August 6-8 Warks u18 v Somerset u18 (Portland Rd)
August 13-15 Warks u18 v Wales NC u18 (Portland Rd)
August 27-29 Worcs u18 v Warks u18 (tbc)

September 9-12 Worcs v Derbyshire (Barnt Green)
September 16-19 Warks v Surrey (Portland Rd)

At least one of Bears T20 fixtures is a double header with 2 matches on the day but I can't recall which.

Also don't forget England Lions v Sri Lanka 4-day match at New Road August 14-17 ahead of their test series against England

Slightly further afield but also highly likely to feature one or two of the current crop of Warks young players, Cheltenham College will host England Under-19s v India Under-19s in a Test Match July 16-19

I wonder if the First Team game is also off today. The morning weather forecast is reasonable and I expected a start by now - but Play.com Live scores don't show it.

They appear to be playing behind closed doors and also without live scores. Bears finished on 229/9 and were due to bowl after tea. No further info.

Edit: Leicestershire finish the day 52/0
There’s a link to live play via Leicestershire’s YouTube channel.
