Northamptonshire have announced pre-tax profits of 拢86,813 for the year ending January 31 2024.

Northants revealed the profit came "in line with the club鈥檚 expectations at the start of the year" despite an increase in energy, cricketing expenses and catering costs.

"I was pleased with the club鈥檚 revenue in 2023," Northants chief executive Ray Payne said.

He added the figures were helped by "strong" home crowds for the T20 Blast and increased money from sponsorship and broadcast rights for international cricket distributed by the England and Wales Cricket Board.

Northants' statement comes after the club announced in February it had agreed a 125-year lease for a new ground for its academy and women's and disabled teams at New Manor Farm in Moulton.

The club have resided at The County Ground in Abington since 1886.
