Supporters of the Welsh county are requested to submit songs ahead of new NatWest T20 Blast season
Glamorgan County Cricket Club has launched a search for its fans favourite summer songs as part of the England & Wales Cricket Board's (ECB) nationwide search to create cricket's soundtrack to the summer.
With 6 out of 7 Glamorgan home fixtures in the new NatWest T20 Blast season taking place on Friday nights throughout the summer, the Welsh county along with the ECB are searching for a playlist that best represents the summer for fans. The playlist will reflect the atmosphere that will be experienced during the 133 fixtures in an action-packed season.
Fans of Glamorgan CCC will have until Friday 11th April to submit their favourite summer tunes to the county's Facebook and Twitter accounts, with Glamorgan selecting the most popular song to represent its fans in an 18 song shortlist.
Glamorgan CCC fans will then go head-to-head against other counties to vote for their favourite tunes, with the top ten making up the NatWest T20 Blast Summer Anthems playlist and being played at games throughout the season. The final playlist will be announced on Wednesday 30th April.
The new NatWest T20 Blast competition kicks off on Friday 16th May, taking place over 11 weeks with a majority of fixtures being played on Friday nights. The re-launched format of T20 will offer fast-paced cricket with fours smashed, sixes launched and wickets cart wheeling - all packed into three hours.
David Collier, ECB Chief Executive, said: Our search for the NatWest T20 Blast Summer Anthems playlist was inspired by our desire to find a set of songs that encapsulates the summer for cricket fans. With 70% of fixtures in the new season taking place on a Friday night, we wanted to find a playlist that would represent this and T20's brand of exciting cricket.
NatWest T20 Blast will have something for everyone and the new season is set to offer cricket fans, groups of friends and families alike a unique experience, ensuring everyone can watch an exciting style of cricket with an electric atmosphere.
