Cricket tournament
The 2017 County Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2017 Specsavers County Championship ), was the 118th cricket County Championship season. It was announced in March 2016 that the season would feature eight teams in Division One and ten teams in Division Two, meaning that at the end of the 2016 season only one team was promoted from Division Two whilst two were relegated from Division One.[ 1] day/night matches.[ 2]
Following a series of financial "bailout" payments made by the England and Wales Cricket Board to Durham during the 2016 season, the county, which had finished fourth in Division One at the end of the season, were relegated to Division Two in place of the eighth place team, Hampshire .[ 3] [ 3] MCC University team .
