Cricket is now a year-round sport. You're obviously referring to the English cricket season. In England cricket is a summer spo0rt. In other parts of the world it is a winter sport.
So English cricketers tour places like India or the West Indies during winter when most of the Test series take place in the Indian sub-continent... or tour Australia, where cricket is again a summer sport, but the southern hemisphere summer is during the north's winter.
So, yes, there's plenty of cricket played year-round ,and nowadays there's no real off-season.

@Gangstress It was a dream of a lifetime for me to go and watch Wimbledon... but you need to pay an arm and a leg for the tickets :-(
Besides, both players I wanted to watch - Edberg and Federer - have hung up their racquets. So I have no incentive any more to empty out my bank account to enter SW19.
Yes, Dubai is pretty warm in November... mid-December to mid-March is very pleasant, though!
Enjoy your cricket!! 🙂

Some of our cricketers top level in New Zealand. Play county cricket in England or IPL during winter in New Zealand

I believe they polish their balls.
Some play with convicts in the BBL in Australia but leave just before the finals and head to the IPL. £ before loyalty it seems.

@Stephie If you rub your ball briskly against your trouser leg you'll find it makes it harder for the other man to play it.

@Gangstress I always have silly ideas of playing again in February and March. Then remember the pain on Mondays
Gangstress · 41-45, F
@Lugwho haha did you do something to them in the past?
Or is it over use?
Maybe you should get it seen too?

@Gangstress It's just over use. I did get them x-rayed once, but no problems. They're fine if I don't run.

@Gangstress
Maybe you could play virtually with players in Australia? 🤪
During non-work hours, of course. Of course when you are off they all have to work. So you will need a tape delay. In fact, games will take years. Bowl. Wait. Hit. Wait. Run. Wait. 🤪
🎶Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset. 🎶
As for what they do off-season? Maybe they meet their mates at the pub?
