Creating Welcoming Environments
Developed as part of a range of ECB initiatives aimed at making cricket a game for everyone, the ECB’s ‘Inspiring Generations’ Strategy is a five-year strategic plan which aims to connect communities and inspire current and future generations through cricket activity.
Our strategy has adapted to reflect the impact of COVID-19 and we are looking to future-proof the game and its facilities.
