“It is a busy job, but it’s what I want to be doing. I love being involved in the game. I get bored if I’m not, so it helps me if I am involved at all times."

Ed Barnard has reflected upon his first game as Warwickshire captain as “very enjoyable” – and believes the strong team performance against Surrey underlined the Bears’ intention to challenge hard for honours this year.  

Barnard led the Bears for the first time after replacing Alex Davies as skipper. The former Worcestershire all-rounder took on the role late in the close-season, only a couple of weeks before the start of the new campaign, but started impressively as his side had much the better of the opening game against star-studded oppositon.
