Sean Beynon20-Apr-2001Lancashire open their summer in the CricInfo Championship at Taunton today,with names and numbers on the backs of their shirts. They have been givenpermission to do so from the ECB after the move was tried successfully onthe club’s pre-season tour to South Africa.All counties have names and numbers on the back of their National Leagueshirts, but this is a break with tradition in the Championship designed,according to Old Trafford cricket secretary Dave Edmundson, to make cricketmore user friendly.”The new kit has already been a success,” said Edmundson. “When theplayers are wearing hats in the heat of the sun it is very difficult foreven an avid fan to identify who’s who, never mind someone new to the game.”If the move is successful, other counties may follow suit.
