There’s a suggestion clubs could, perhaps should, have been more proactive in supporting schools’ participation* in the Barclays Knight-Stokes Cup to help the competition work better.
What’s your retention of young players* like and what percentage transition to open age (adult) cricket? What factors are at play? Is it any different in Australia?
Also from last week:
- £3m government funding for new domes* in underserved cities near you.
- Will the ECB’s Wotsit fund* encourage county boards to involve clubs in developing their plans?
- Why do county boards appear to discount potential club impact* on their performance delivery?
- Do you have any great examples of club development resources* you can share with others?
