One Day Cup holders Glamorgan look for lessons from failures

Glamorgan went into the One Day Cup placed second in Division Two of the County Championship, so the 50 overs tournament slipped down the list of priorities.

South African batter Colin Ingram was left on the sidelines in a coaching role, while Championship captain Sam Northeast, mulling over a possible return to his native Kent, was only played twice.

“We’ve got this team and this format to develop players,” said coach David Harrison after the chance of qualifying disappeared.

“Winning twice in four years was huge for everybody involved and the club but we’re in a strong (Championship) position going into September, so we’ve got to make sure the guys who play the format are mentally and physically ready.”

The remaining batters did not disgrace themselves, but with little in the way of penetration from the bowling attack, it did not add up to a winning formula.

“There’s a lot of high-intensity cricket through the season and guys are always keen to play but we have to have an eye on the Championship,” said Carlson, ironically the one man who has played every game of every format in 2025.
