The ECB wish to thank everyone who completed their recent survey, the answers from which have provided valuable insights into what they should be doing to support Counties, Clubs and Leagues. Across the survey, containing responses from over 1000 clubs, it became clear that Finance and Players are the biggest concerns with Grounds and Pitches not far behind.
With the Finance Support package in place, the ECB is turning its attention to Players and Grounds over the next few weeks and will share more details in the coming weeks.
National Progammes Update
The safety and well being of all people involved in cricket is the ECB’s absolute priority and so whilst they continue to work through solutions, All Stars and Dynamos Cricket remain suspended for the time being in line with government guidance. They will do everything they can to run programmes later in the year should the government guidance allow them to do so and will remain in touch with any updates as and when they are available. If the situation means they are unable to reschedule programmes for a later date, but will ensure that refunds or credits are available for participants.
The ECB knows that cricket can play a huge part in supporting physical and mental well being of children around the country and are continuing to explore ways that cricket can cricket be brought to homes through indoor games, challenges, and digital content. Some of this you may have already seen via the All Stars Cricket activity booklet, our All Stars garden games, and keep an eye out for the Dynamos Cricket app, and educational content coming your way shortly.
The ECB’s aim is to do what’s best for our community throughout this unusual period and appreciate your support to do the same. This is new territory for everyone, and your patience during this time is appreciated.
