It’s been an incredible summer for Northamptonshire's cricketers. No one gave them a hope at the start of the season, and with good reason after last year's disastrous campaign.

However, this summer they won the Twenty20 Cup in August, and now they’ve rounded it off by securing promotion to Division 1 of the County Championship.
