The truth is that cricket in Wales does not generate the interest.
I would compare it to baseball in that Wales, until recently, had a team and played England even though a handful of teams play the game.
Even our 1st class county side Glamorgan struggle to get numbers for the county championship games and lose money hand over fist. Without checking the stats I suspect that the majority of other1st class counties struggle too and are all grateful to the ECB for funding.
It is sad to say but without the England badge, first class cricket in Wales would be no more.

Abergavenny you say. I can't go but would you show me a photograph? Hope the weather is fine
I'll be playing for my local club so will be unable to make the trip. If people want to support cricket in Wales there are numerous ways, from supporting your local club, to watching Glamorgan.

If you want to support a cricket team in Wales called Wales you can.
