Devon Women are ready for life in the newly restructured women's game.
Having missed out on Tier 2 status last year, the side will now play in Division 1 of League Three (originally called Tier 3), where they will face Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Cheshire, Hertfordshire, Staffordshire and Wiltshire.
League Three is divided into two competitions: the 50-over Metro Bank One Day Cup and the regionalised T20 Vitality Blast. Additionally, Devon Women will also compete in the Vitality T20 Women's County Cup, in which every county across all three tiers enter a straight knockout competition.
Looking ahead to the 2025 season, Lead Coach David Joseph said:
"The coaching staff have been pleased with winter training and player development. We will be a talented young side again this season and it's exciting that a number of our players are still overseas getting invaluable experience as well as those training hard at university.
"The season is fast approaching and we are all really excited about making Budleigh Salterton our home base."
Budleigh Salterton's new home the Holt, a state-of-the-art facility which officially opened in June last year, will be hosting all of Devon Women's home fixtures in 2025.
"We are delighted to be continuing our wider partnership with Devon Cricket Foundation in being the home of Devon Women," said Budleigh Salterton CC Chair, Joel Murphy. "2025 is promising to be very exciting with women's county cricket being staged at the Holt."
With a little over a month until the season starts, Jojo Baylis said she's "excited to be part of this squad for the 2025 season.
"We had such a positive summer last year, I can’t wait to get back out on the field with the girls to keep that momentum going."
The full 2025 Devon Women squad will be announced in due course.
