The Northern Diamonds women’s fixtures have also been announced, with the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy defending champions starting their campaign against Western Storm at Headingley on April 22.

The RHF Trophy fixture list has doubled for next year, meaning that the Diamonds will play 14 50-over contests ahead of the knockout stages.

There is no change to the men’s competitions for next summer, apart from a slight tweak to the T20 Blast which will start with a new concept called “Vitality Blast Off”, a double-header at Edgbaston on May 20 when Yorkshire are in action against Birmingham Bears and Derbyshire take on Lancashire.

It means that there will once more be 14 Championship matches per county, with two sides relegated and two promoted.

A round of Championship games will be played in the week just prior to the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston on June 16, and there will be five Championship rounds across June and July but none in August, when The Hundred will dominate and the One-Day Cup will be played alongside.

The opening seven Championship rounds are played from Thursday to Sunday in successive weeks, with the first round taking place over Easter and each club having one week off during the first five rounds for rest and recovery.

The season is set to conclude on September 29, with Yorkshire taking on Worcestershire at Headingley in the final round of Championship matches.
