Academy
Gloucestershire CCC Academy aims to produce world class cricketers through identifying, assessing and further developing the most talented players available to us.
2009 proved to be a very successful season both for the Academy and the Emerging Players Programme. The season finished on a high with Chris Dent and David Payne being selected for the England Under 19 tour to Bangladesh and the World Cup in New Zealand. Both players were also awarded the highest accolade that all Academy players strive for - a full County Contract.
There was also England recognition for three other Academy players: Alex Spencer in the England Under 19s Development Side; Craig Miles selected for England U15s and Jack Taylor selected in both the Under19s Development side and the England Under 18s. There was also national recognition for Graeme McCarter who was selected for Ireland Under 17s and their Under19s World Cup squad
