Glamorgan assistant Harrison to run One Day Cup campaign

David Harrison has been with Glamorgan since 1999 as a player or coach

Glamorgan assistant coach David Harrison will be in charge of the county's MetroBank One Day Cup campaign, with batter Colin Ingram taking on his first senior coaching role.

Former seam bowler Harrison, 43, previously ran the 50-overs side between 2021 and 2023, including the title win in 2021.

He takes over for the tournament in August because head coach Richard Dawson is working for the Welsh Fire franchise in The Hundred.

Ingram, 40, will assist Harrison along with Ian Harvey, Dawson's former Gloucestershire colleague who has been with Glamorgan most of the summer.

South Africa international Ingram is now settled in south Wales with his family and has been working part-time with Glamorgan's academy players.

Glamorgan have twice won the One Day Cup since it was moved in the season to run alongside The Hundred, with New Zealander Grant Bradburn at the helm in 2024 before his abrupt departure from the club after just one season.

"I've had some good experiences in three years of doing the One Day Cup including fantastic memories of Trent Bridge in 2021, and we've had some initial conversations as to how it's going to look this year," Harrison told BBC Sport Wales.

"Colin has got a wealth of experience across all formats of the game. He's done some coaching with our pathway players and he's a great leader in that changing-room as well.

"He'll still be available to play, but initially we're going to use him in a coaching role in that competition."

Harrison knows Glamorgan have to strike a balance between winning games and giving younger players a chance in what is often seen as a development tournament.

"Ideally it would be lovely to win the competition, but it's also going to provide opportunities for more people to get exposure in the first team," he said.

"We've had younger guys coming in at times in the T20 and performing, but it's difficult to plan too much with so many moving parts."

Glamorgan have lost both their specialist spinners, Ben Kellaway and Mason Crane, to the Welsh Fire squad so there could be an opportunity for north Walian left-arm spinner Romano Franco, 18, to make a debut after impressing in a string of second-team appearances.

Wicket-keeper/batter Henry Hurle, 19, who technically made his debut in the 2024 competition without batting or fielding in a rain-hit game at Edgbaston, could also get a chance to impress.

Glamorgan begin the One Day Cup with their only two home out-ground matches of the season, hosting Hampshire and Derbyshire at Neath on Tuesday, 5 August and Thursday, 7 August.
