Working together, our aim is simple; to embrace all cricket development activities and junior representative cricket, both coaching and matchplay at County levels. By “junior” we mean “up to and including the Under 17 age group” for boys and girls.
It also comprises working increasingly closer with Shropshire County Cricket Club which embraces all senior representative cricket, including the Minor Counties and the Women's 1st XIs and the Development XIs; the Shropshire Disabilities XI's; the Shropshire Seniors (O50s/60s); and most importantly all of our clubs.
SCB is controlled by a Board of Directors and the day-to-day running is overseen by the Lead Officer
We stand against discrimination in all its forms and are committed to ensuring that cricket is a game for everyone.
If you have experienced or witnessed discrimination you can report it through the ECB’s website: https://www.ecb.co.uk/reporting-discrimination
Any reports will then be triaged by the ECB and investigated by the relevant cricket organisation..
