Cricket clubs are the foundation of the recreational game, providing a wide range of ways for people to take part in the game. But their impact goes far beyond the boundary. At their heart, clubs offer:

• Safe, welcoming spaces where individuals can thrive and belong - on and off the field

• Inclusive participation for people of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities

• Vital community hubs that foster connection, identity, and shared purpose

In 2026, we published our Thriving Clubs strategy which lays out how we will support recreational cricket clubs to build and develop for a long-term and sustainable future based on principle of club-led development.
