The 2022 English cricket season began on 7 April 2022 and finished on 29 September 2022.[1] It was the 122nd season in which the County Championship[2] has been an official competition and features First-Class, List-A and Twenty20 cricket competitions throughout England and Wales.[3][4][5][6][7]

The 18 first-class counties competed in the 2022 County Championship,[8] One-Day Cup,[9] and T20 Blast[10] competitions, whilst women's teams competed for the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy[11] and the Charlotte Edwards Cup.[12]

The season also saw the second edition of The Hundred, for both men and women.[13][14]

In January 2022, the ECB announced that the Bob Willis Trophy, which was played to end the County Championship in 2020 and 2021, would not be played in 2022; managing director of county cricket Neil Snowball said that the ECB was discussing the future format of the trophy with Willis's family.[3]
