England XI ECC Champions

Champions of European Cricket 👑 Relive the defining moments since the inaugural ECC 2021. The nations, the rivalries, the performances, and the victories that shaped the European stage. This time, we look back at the very first European Cricket Championship winning nation, England XI, who lifted the title at Cartama Oval in Spain in 2021, defeating Belgium by 10 wickets in the final. It was a tournament defined by elite individual performances. Harrison Ward delivered a remarkable campaign with 595 runs, including 92 not out, at a strike rate of 264.44, hitting 61 sixes and 39 fours. Close behind him was Dan Lincoln, who scored 594 runs at a strike rate of 225.00. With the ball, Josh Wilson led the attack with 13 wickets, including a five wicket haul. For us at ECN, it was a landmark tournament. ECC 2021 marked the beginning of the pinnacle of cricket in Europe, growing year on year with more nations, more matches, and stronger competition at the highest level.
