Worcestershire County Cricket Club in 2005

Worcestershire County Cricket Club in 2005 are playing their County Championship games in Division Two and their totesport League games in Division One. Under their new captain, Vikram Solanki, they are tipped to go straight back up to the top flight of the County Championship, and start the season 9–2 second favourites to end up as Division Two champions.

They started the season with a convincing win against Derbyshire in the Championship, followed by a comfortable win over Northamptonshire in a rain-affected Sunday League game. Their second game of the Championship, against Durham at Chester-le-Street, however, was a humiliating 7 wicket defeat inside two days. They then lost a close game against Lancashire over four days, and another close game against Middlesex on the Sunday.

On 5 May they eased past Scotland to reach the Second Round of the C&G Trophy. In the second week of May, they were humbled by Loughborough UCCE, who comfortably beat them.
