Derbyshire post pre-tax profit for 2024

Derbyshire have announced a pre-tax profit of £11,000 for 2024 – the club’s 11th surplus in the past 12 years.

The county cited sellouts for last summer’s home T20 Blast games against Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire, as well as the ‘Midlands Mania’ double-header at Edgbaston, as key factors.

Despite investing “a record amount” in their cricket budget, Derbyshire finished bottom of the County Championship last season.

“To be debt-free and able to safeguard our future in the current climate is a healthy position, however we must continue to work hard off-field to ensure we can compete out in the middle,” said Derbyshire chairman Ian Morgan.

“It is becoming increasingly difficult to challenge financially with the larger counties, but we remain committed to investing in our playing budget to give [head coach] Mickey Arthur and his squad the best chance of success, while maintaining our secure financial position.”

Derbyshire begin their Division Two season at home to Gloucestershire on Friday, 4 April, with veteran batter Wayne Madsen taking over the captaincy for a second time.
