Willey backs earlier Finals Day in T20 Blast

London, Mar 20 (UNI) Northants Steelbacks captain David Willey has called for T20 Blast Finals Day to be reinstated earlier in the domestic season.
The climax of county cricket's shortest format was played in July in 2022 and 2023, but was pushed back to September last summer.
In the 22 years since T20 cricket made its debut in England, only four finals have been played in July, with the majority taking place in August - a month which is now dominated by The Hundred, and this year's Finals Day will be on September 13.
