Barney's Bears - the Warwickshire captain who commands respect

Warwickshire secured the County Championship title following a remarkable late-season surge under the leadership of newly appointed captain Ed Barnard. Guided by first-team coach Ian Westwood, the squad reeled off four consecutive victories in September to claim their ninth championship crown.

The championship charge was anchored by standout performances from a talented roster including Chris Woakes, Olly Hannon-Dalby, Sam Hain, and Ethan Bamber. Contributions from coaches like Matthew Walker and Graeme Welch further bolstered the effort, culminating in a historic triumph fittingly celebrated at Edgbaston alongside figures from previous campaigns.
