Worcestershire has hit by the torrential rain and heavy rains brought by Storm Chandra.

Water has burst onto the wicket and submerged much of the outfield as shown in drone pictures.

Flooding had not just affected the grass as areas of the concourse and stands have also been covered in water.

The usual stunning cricket ground appears closer to a reservoir compared to its normal glory because of the water.

New Road is located close to the River Severn and is no stranger to being flooded.

Only last month had it become was engulfed in water which had also submerged sections of the ground itself by Storm Bram.

Previously in April 2024 just three days before the cricket season was set to commence.

That flooding took place a mere three months after the ground also fell victim to Storm Henk.

Hundreds of alerts have been put in place across the country where flooding is possible as a result of Storm Chandra.
