Developing the game
News
Blogs
Increasing participation, club membership, club affiliation, coaching roles and volunteering roles, together with securing funding, promoting equity, and ensuring strong relationships with all counties - just some of the priorities for ECB's development team.
In 2008 ECB announced a £30million investment in facilities and in club cricket, the most significant injection of funding ever in cricket in England and Wales.
The whole of the ECB development team, at a national, regional and county level is committed to making a difference to the game at all levels and building strong partnerships within and outside the game.
