Today, the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) published its report. Oxfordshire Cricket welcomes the report, and over the coming days, we will read and fully digest the findings and recommendations. The ICEC Report in full can be found here. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has this morning issued a statement on behalf of the game which can be accessed by clicking here.
The report is an extensive document that the game will need to review fully so that we all can better understand its impact, its recommendations, and the experiences that people have had. This is a time when, Cricket as a sport needs to come together, to listen, reflect, and act in order to work together to make cricket truly a sport for all.
Oxfordshire Cricket are fully committed to making cricket a game for everyone and the sport of choice in Oxfordshire. There is no place for discrimination in our game and the wider society and we acknowledge that there is a long way to go. Over the coming months, we welcome the opportunity to engage fully in the ECB consultation process in order to make cricket truly accessible to all.
If you have experienced or witnessed discrimination you can report it through the ECB’s website below. Any reports will then be triaged by the ECB and investigated by the relevant cricket organisation.
