2nd XI head coach Neil Killeen spoke to Durham TV about the importance of his role after the 2017 fixtures were announced.
Killeen is heading into his second season as the head of Durham’s second string after a successful first term in charge.
His side won the Championship after annihilating Middlesex in a four-day finale at Emirates Riverside, while they also reached the T20 Finals Day at Arundel.
Here Killeen talks about the importance of his role in ‘bridging the gap’ between Academy and 1st XI, the successes of 2016 and the challenges they face moving forward into the new campaign.
