Team overview
Glamorgan at a glance
Glamorgan County Cricket Club represent Wales in the England and Wales domestic structure. The club is constituted as a Community Benefit Society controlled democratically by its members, rather than as a privately owned franchise.
The men's side finished fifth in the 2026 Vitality Blast Central & West Group with six wins, six losses, 24 points and a +0.217 net run rate. Glamorgan and fourth-placed Warwickshire both had 24 points, but Warwickshire's +0.367 net run rate secured the final quarter-final place.
Captain Kiran Carlson led the batting with 405 runs at a 195.65 strike rate and made the team's only century. Mason Crane and Nathan McAndrew shared the wicket lead with 15 each, while Ben Kellaway combined 249 runs with 14 wickets.
Glamorgan also field men's teams in the County Championship and One-Day Cup. The county owns half of Welsh Fire, but Welsh Fire is a distinct Hundred franchise, so its results are not mixed into this Glamorgan record.
