ECB publishes State of Equity in Cricket Report 2025

Today the ECB has published a State of Equity in Cricket Report which provides a comprehensive update on progress happening across the sport to make it more accessible and inclusive.

The report focuses on key areas of cricket, such as the game’s culture, people and leadership; broadening access to talent pathways; state school support; work to engage ethnically diverse communities; and action to tackle discrimination.

With the stated ambition of becoming the most inclusive team sport in England and Wales, the ECB has decided to publish the report a year ahead of the recommendation by the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket to help highlight the progress being made, but also reiterate the areas that require further, ongoing work.
