Lewis Bedford, who played for SUCC in 2017-18, has been elected Captain of the Durham University Cricket Club.

Durham University is an MCC centre of excellence, and its schedule includes first-class matches against county sides at the beginning of each season. Lewis made his first-class debut for Durham in 2019, but the club’s program for 2020 was destroyed by the Covid-19 lockdown. Lewis will now take charge of the club until the end of the 2021 northern summer.
