Glamorgan will no longer be known as the Welsh Dragons in one-day cricket after going back on their decision to rebrand the club.

With effect from next season, the team will once again be known as Glamorgan in all three formats, while the daffodil will also be reintroduced as their official logo.

Chief executive Alan Hamer explained: “After careful consideration, we have taken the decision to simply call ourselves Glamorgan.

“I think we need to be honest and admit that the decision taken last year to rebrand our one-day team as the Welsh Dragons has not been as effective as we had hoped.

“Glamorgan is a strong brand and next year will be our 125th anniversary - we are a club with a proud history and we believe that today's announcement is in the club's best interests.”
