The Durham Cricket Board (DCB) team competed in List A cricket from 1999 until 2003, taking part in the England and Wales Cricket Board's main knock-out trophy, known as the NatWest Trophy and then Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy while the DCB played in it. Established as the Gillette Cup in 1963, the knock-out trophy expanded from 32 teams to 60 teams in 1999, featuring all of the minor counties, and the Cricket Board teams from the first-class counties. The Cricket Board teams were considered to be roughly equivalent talent to the minor counties, and they all entered in the first or second round, prior to the first-class counties who entered in the third round.
Allan Worthy was the team's highest aggregate run-scorer, accumulating 193 runs for the team, while Gareth Smith took more wickets for the DCB than any other player, claiming ten during his matches for the team. Gary Scott, who only played for the team three times, scored the team's only century against Herefordshire in 2002,. Future Australian Test cricketer, Marcus North, has the best bowling figures for the team, after taking four wickets against Buckinghamshire in 2001. In all, 36 players have appeared for the DCB, of which 21 have also made first-class cricket appearances.
