Back to News ECB Cricket Collective Awards 2025 – Nominate Today!
4th June 2025
Nominations for The Cricket Collective Awards 2025 are now open. This year we are uniting The Cricket Collective Awards to run alongside the ECB Coach Awards.
The Cricket Collective Awards are the annual celebration of the volunteers who go above and beyond to help make cricket happen. This year, there is a brand new category sponsored by Metro Bank for those championing girls’ cricket at clubs. The Cricket Collective Awards have also joined together with the Coach Awards, so at the end of the season we are able to celebrate more people delivering recreational cricket than ever before.
If you want to pass the categories into your committee meetings it’s a great way of getting ahead of the launch, please also spread the word amongst your players and supporters, any club member can nominate someone from your club.
