The 2025 season is Glamorgan County Cricket Club's 138th year in existence and their 104th as a first-class cricket county. They will play in the Second Division of the County Championship,[1] as well as Group A of the One-Day Cup and the South Group of the T20 Blast.[2] They will begin the defence of their 2024 One-Day Cup title with two matches at The Gnoll in Neath, the fourth year in a row they have played at the ground.[3]
It is the team's first season under head coach Richard Dawson, who was appointed on a one-year contract in January 2025 following the sacking of Grant Bradburn for discriminatory misconduct in December 2024.[4][5] Sam Northeast will continue as red-ball captain, while Kiran Carlson will retain the white-ball captaincy. South African Colin Ingram returned as one of the team's overseas players, along with Sri Lankan bowler Asitha Fernando, who is available for the first seven games of the County Championship season.[6] On 5 May 2025, Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne, who had played for Glamorgan in five previous seasons, was reported to be returning for two County Championship matches in May;[7] the club confirmed his return three days later.[8] On 14 May, they signed Australian all-rounder Hayden Kerr for County Championship and T20 Blast fixtures in June and July.[9] On 22 May 2025, they signed Australian spin bowler Matthew Kuhnemann to play in their County Championship match against Middlesex, which began on 23 May, as a replacement for Ben Kellaway.[10]
