What’s Next
Much has been achieved by the network over the four year
period, in particular developments in the women and girls game,
disability and All Stars Cricket, but as ever there is still much
more to be done!
ECB are currently working up proposals regarding the new
funding arrangements for county cricket boards (County
Partnership Agreements) for the next strategic period. The 5 year
period includes the biggest season of international cricket ever in
England and Wales in 2019, as well as the introduction of the new
T20 competition in 2020!
ECB have issued their plans to capitalise on these events and
moving forward HCB will be required to formulate our plan,
clearly demonstrating how the desired ECB outcomes will be
achieved locally. As in the last strategic period, engaging and
consulting the Hampshire cricket network as widely as possible
will be an integral part of the process.
