Hello all,

As you are aware, last night Boris Johnson gave an address to share the shape of a plan to reopen various areas of society, that will apply to England from Wednesday, 13 May 2020.

A list of these changes and subsequently, what people can and can’t do can be found here.

Additionally, the government has provided further detail this afternoon and we want to understand the full implications of this, prior to making any formal decisions or recommendations on behalf of the game.

It is important to note that all guidance around social distancing remains in place. We are closely monitoring the guidance on what this means specifically for recreational cricket.

As such, all recreational cricket across England and Wales remains suspended until further notice, this includes practise/training – however, we will endeavour to provide a further update as soon as possible.

I appreciate that there is huge appetite to get cricket played as soon as possible, but the health and safety of the general public and cricket family remains our primary concern. I thank you in advance for your patience at this time of uncertainty.

Warm Regards

Anis Kasmani
