Glamorgan assistant Harrison to run One Day Cup campaign
South Africa international Ingram is now settled in South Wales with his family and has been working part-time with Glamorgan's academy players.Glamorgan have twice won the One Day Cup since it was moved in the season to run alongside the Hundred, with New Zealander Grant Bradburn at the helm in 2024 before his abrupt departure from the club after just one season."I've had some good experiences in three years of doing the One Day Cup including fantastic memories of Trent Bridge in 2021, and we've had some initial conversations as to how it's going to look this year," Harrison told BBC Sport Wales."Colin (Ingram) has got a wealth of experience across all formats of the game, he's done some coaching with our pathway players and he's a great leader in that changing-room as well. "He'll still be available to play, but initially we're going to use him in a coaching role in that competition."Harrison knows the club has to strike a balance between winning games and giving younger players a chance in what is often seen as a development tournament."Ideally it would be lovely to win the competition, but it's also going to provide opportunities for more people to get exposure in the first team," he said."We've had younger guys coming in at times in the T20 and performing, but it's difficult to plan too much with so many moving parts."Glamorgan have lost both their specialist spinners, Ben Kellaway and Mason Crane, to the Welsh Fire squad so there could be an opportunity for North Walian left-arm spinner Romano Franco, 18, to make a debut after impressing in a string of second-team appearances.Wicket-keeper/batter Henry Hurle, 19, who technically made his debut in the 2024 competition without batting or fielding in a rain-hit game at Edgbaston, could also get a chance to impress.Glamorgan begin the One Day Cup with their only two home out-ground matches of the season, hosting Hampshire and Derbyshire at Neath on Tuesday 5 and Thursday 7 August.

It was a fascinating battle on a spin-heavy day between a Glamorgan side starting the round of games second in Division Two, and a Lancashire team looking for a third straight win to get within striking range after belatedly finding red-ball promotion challengers will be hoping to force the first positive result of the season at the ground in red-ball cricket, with the hosts holding the edge.

Neville urging fans of EFL clubs to back local small businesses
Neville has teamed up with Sage, Official Accounting Software Partner of the EFL, on a new UK-wide campaign to champion local businesses, with fans across all 72 EFL clubs invited to nominate the matchday heroes in their community. Three winning businesses will have the chance to win bespoke club partnerships with the aim to gain exposure and drive growth. Additional finalists will receive business grants from Sage and promotional opportunities at EFL matches. 'Local businesses thrive on matchdays,' Neville said. 'Small businesses know how important football clubs are and clubs know fans need hospitality and service on those days. They need the local businesses to still be there to support the fanbase. 'A football club can never forget where it has come from, that is one of my constant messages. It needs to be the beating heart of a community and sit there to help people, support people, be the release, the energy, the life, the laugh. 'There are very few things in life that make your veins pop out like when your team score a goal or make you as angry as when your team lose. 'That emotion and feeling is absolutely critical.' Neville, who represented Manchester United on 602 occasions between 1992 and 2011, has since turned his hand to various entrepreneurial enterprises alongside his award-winning punditry with Sky Sports. He co-owns League Two outfit Salford City with some of his 'Class of 92' teammates and has a lifelong insight into how crucial football clubs are to their surrounding small businesses, and vice-versa. 'Growing up in Bury, being an owner of Salford and supporting (Manchester) United, I have seen the importance of football to local towns, cities, communities and local businesses at all levels,' he said. 'Manchester United not being in Europe this year has a massive impact on the city of Manchester. Manchester United doing well and City doing well has a huge impact on the city. It's the same with Salford, the same with Bury. 'Football clubs are not just important economically, they are important for the spirit in the city, the feeling of energy. 'That can largely be defined sometimes by how the football team is doing. It has such an impact on the local community.' The 85-cap England international is working with Sage to spotlight the vital role of small businesses in the EFL ecosystem, a partnership he is delighted to be a part of. 'It's hard work setting up a small business,' he added. 'Everyone does it with great enthusiasm and passion, I've done it myself here in Manchester, but you need systems, you need processes, I call it a defence. 'The nuts and bolts is making sure your defence is looked after and you're not conceding goals. 'Small businesses need that more than ever in what is a challenging time to operate and Sage do great work helping with that.' Gary Neville is encouraging fans to celebrate the businesses behind the badge on behalf of Sage, the Official Accounting Software Partner of the EFL.
