The water at New Road flooded the entire ground and half the car park, evidencing the severe impact of rising climate-related flood risks on cricket clubs.
This season alone, Dan Musson has contacted 27 clubs regarding flooding issues, indicating a growing trend in extreme weather's impact on sports facilities.
Last off-season, New Road experienced eight floods, prompting concerns from chief executive Ashley Giles over the club's long-term viability amidst these conditions.
The Environment Agency's latest findings predict significant risks by 2050, with one in four homes facing potential flooding, along with severe impacts on infrastructure.
