Today saw the players begin group training at Sophia Gardens, with the side split into two across the morning and engaging battles between bat and ball throughout.
Training restarted on an individual basis on 1st July, and having trained in pairs last week, there were plenty of smiles all round as large sections of the group were reunited for the first time in the new mini pre-season.
Head Coach Matt Maynard has been pleased with what he's seen so far from his squad, especially in regards to the new social distancing measures in place throughout the stadium.
"It's been good - it's nice see the lads not get too close to each other!", said Maynard. "They're great mates and it's very easy to just go up and give someone a hug or shake their hands, so in terms of that their self discipline has been very good and I'm very pleased.
"The effort of the bowlers has been ramped up from last week and it was pretty intense today, so it's great to see from their point of view. Batting was tough today, so a nice balance so far out of what we've had from our practices.
The recent announcement that the season would contain red-ball and white-ball fixtures was something that had been planned for, and with the mixture of both the longer and shorter formats of the game comes the need to build up the stamina of the bowlers, ready for match intensity, alongside the ability to quickly adapt their skills to the format required.
"We start white-ball nets Friday this week and then we've got some intra-squad games lined up, and we've talked about giving as many of the squad an opportunity to push for places this year and by having these games, that will help. The cages will be ready so we can still net throughout these games.
"If it's anything like the three-day game we had last preseason, which was terrific in the intensity, then it will be a fairly good pre-season for us, albeit fairly short."
All 18 first-class counties will compete for the Bob Willis Trophy, named in recognition of the former England player who was renowned for his witty humour and sharp analysis of the game, and Maynard believes that it is only right that the ECB have found a fitting way to honour Willis.
"It's brilliant to see that Bob has been recognised. He's a legend of the game, not just from his England playing career with Headingley 1981 still massively in my memory as a youngster, and that was one of the things that really helped me fall in love with the game, but also his broadcasting, where his dry humour will be sorely missed.
"What the new tournament does do, which is very exciting, is give all 18 counties the opportunity to win the Bob Willis Trophy, and we wouldn't have been in this position had the season started in April. We've got a chance at some proper silverware this year through this and we'll be doing our very best. We won't be giving places up and the lads will earn their places through the intra-squad match."
The enforced break has changed the exercise habits of most professional athletes and home workers, with running seeing a huge increase in uptake, and Glamorgan's players have been no different - something Matt has noticed, and in one player in particular who he's been impressed with.
"I've been very impressed with a number of the players. We have a rough idea of eight or nine of the starting line-up, so there's a number of places up for grabs. A lot of the lads are looking very fit from an aerobic perspective and are quite skinny.
"Kieran Bull, who's had his issues with his back over the years, has trimmed down a lot during lockdown and has done a lot of running. It's really pleasing to see. He's getting plenty of revs on the ball and hopefully that will ease the pressure on his back and he'll be able to play a full part this season."
