Teams in the Northern Cricket Union are already facing a fixture backlog after Saturday’s entire senior programme was rained off.

Not a ball was bowled in the five scheduled Premier League games and with the opening round of fixtures last Saturday all put back to later in the season, teams already have two games to rearrange, Saturday’s within the next 15 days.
