In order to ensure that cricket is a game for everyone, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is planning to run a series of regional consultation workshops, including one at London's Kia Oval Cricket ground on 13th July to help improve its understanding and levels of engagement with South Asian cricket fans across the country. Other venues include Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham, Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester among others.
The ECB wants to get the opinion of the people about cricket. They want to get feedback, ideas and thoughts on how cricket can do this for London's South Asian communities. They want to hear from people such as Afghani, Bangladeshi, Indian, Nepalese, Pakistani or Sri Lankan communities. Whether a cricket fan or not everyone is welcome to attend.
Kicking off at London's Kia Oval on Thursday, 13th July, the workshop will continue throughout July and August, and will not only offer guests the opportunity to have their voices heard, but also give them a chance to get a taste for the sport both at a local level through tickets to local NatWest T20 Blast matches as well as being entered into a draw to win four VIP tickets to England vs India or England vs Pakistan in 2018.
