The Annual Report has been issued:

It's being reported that Kabir Ali and Jim Troughton are both joining the Yorkshire coaching set-up under Ottis Gibson who is the new Head Coach.
From the Bears site:
"All four of Warwickshire’s home games in the Royal London Cup will be played at Edgbaston."
Our boy done good!
It looks like Notts will be at Portland Road and the Bears will be at Edgbaston, since the two clubs don't appear to agree on where the match will be played.
I agree - many thanks.
Taunton is my second favourite ground (well, maybe equal second with Lord's).
And kudos for using the name of a Somerset legend from the past!
Fixtures out 1 pm tomorrow!
The Cricketer says:" The fixtures for the 2022 domestic season are expected to be announced on Thursday, January 20, 2022."
Update on Olly Stone:

There's also a few other updates at the end, though Mark Robinson seems as vague as we are about the fixtures.
Saw a nice innings from Jacob Bethell today - he looks to be a class act.
It's a bit like when a great fast bowler's bowling - the best place to be is at the non-striker's end. And if the Aussie's are rampant, the best place to be is at home in England. That's probably true not just of Dom but of a few others who didn't go to Australia but may be selected to tour the West Indies and face far lesser bowlers than Cummings and co.
I think I had a dream last night that England had managed a half-century opening partnership. Then I woke up and found that they were all out for 124.
I'm not sure that these events often discover future top level performers but it seems like a worthwhile initiative:

This article gives more information:

As well as saying that fixtures for the 2022 domestic season will be released after the final men's Ashes Test, either at the end of next week or in the following week, it confirms that Yorkshire won't be demoted from Division One.
As Highveld says, the article does seem to suggest that the Club are going about the recruitment in a professional manner.
The word on the grapevine is that some very strong applications have come through so it will be an interesting appointment.
Having just seen a video interview with (dare I say it?) the Worcestershire Chairman, he says that the fixtures will be out in "the next two to three weeks."
I see that England have now sunk to bottom in the Test Championship table:

I've seen no recent updates.
