Wiltshire Cricket Board has been boosted by a lucrative sponsorship deal with Seasons Holidays that will see �150,000 ploughed into the county.

Development manager Pete Sykes has described the deal as the largest afforded to any county cricket board.

"The money has been ring-fenced for youth development, and one of our main aims will be improving standards of youth coaching," said Sykes.

Hampshire duo James Vince and Liam Dawson came through Wiltshire's system.

Chairman of Wiltshire Cricket Board Bob Holman added: "This sponsorship deal is highly significant and represents a quarter of our annual turnover.

"We are eternally grateful to Seasons Holidays for this extremely generous deal."
