We have closed down the CIC. The regulator has been notified, as have Companies House and the Bank. We have also closed down our Social Media accounts and donated our equipment and clothing.

Cricket has changed a lot over the years, no more so than on the last 3 to 5 years. In many ways this has been positive and with all change there are lessons to be learnt and adaptations to be made.

Without doubt Cricket is a great vehicle for enabling diversity and inclusivity, and it needs to be entertaining.

First and foremost though it is a Sport, with all that entails: highs and lows, rough and smooth, fair and unfair. Our hope is that the pursuit of entertainment and the enabling of diversity and inclusivity doesn’t come at the cost of the Sport.

Many thanks for all that helped NBCC over the years. We hope you continue to enjoy your cricket and do all you can to enable diversity and inclusivity.
