Former England wicketkeeper Jack Russell has issued a scathing attack on the ECB, accusing them of doing "absolutely nothing" to promote the new County Championship season.
The County Championship began on April 7, with eight first round matches taking place across division one and two. And Russell, who played 54 Tests for England across an international career which spanned a decade, was highly critical of the ECB's efforts to promote the competition.
In a string of tweets, Russell labelled them "short sighted" and "reckless beyond common sense". He wrote: "Well @ECB_cricket #CountyChampionship has started and unless I'm mistaken you have done absolutely nothing to promote its importance Who runs the #Marketing Dept?
