Description

Gloucestershire County Cricket Club is one of eighteen first-class county clubs within the domestic cricket structure of England and Wales. It represents the historic county of Gloucestershire.
The club played its first senior match in 1870. W. G. Grace was the first team captain. Gloucestershire has had senior status since inception: i.e., classified by substantial sources as holding important match status from 1870 to 1894; classified as an official first-class team from 1895 by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the County Championship clubs; classified as a List A team since the beginning of limited overs cricket in 1963; and classified as a senior Twenty20 team since 2003.
Gloucestershire CCC is best known for W. G. Grace, whose father founded the club, and Wally Hammond, who scored 113 hundreds for the county.
