Durham men's cricket team

The Durham men's cricket team is based at Chester-le-Street in County Durham. It represents the traditional English county of Durham. The earliest known match in the county was played in 1751. The first team to be called Durham was formed in 1876, and Durham County Cricket Club was founded in 1882 to organise cricket in the county. The team has first-class status, and has competed in the official County Championship since 1992—they are the newest member of the competition. They have won the trophy three times, most recently in 2013. Their main home venue is the Riverside Ground. Noted English international players at Durham have included Paul Collingwood, Steve Harmison, Graham Onions, Liam Plunkett, Ben Stokes, and Mark Wood.
