ECB and Lord’s Taverners partnership to make disability cricket accessible in every county

A £2m partnership will make life-changing disability cricket accessible in every county in England and Wales as part of the biggest investment into a disability cricket programme.

Launched at the end of April, the landmark partnership between the Lord’s Taverners and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will see the Super 1s disability cricket programme launched in every county and improve the sustainability of table cricket – increasing participation, inspiring social change and empowering tens of thousands more young people to fulfil their potential and build life skills through the sport.

Lord’s Taverners President and former England Captain David Gower said: “This partnership is a true game-changer for the Taverners. This is the largest investment by a cricket board into a disability specific programme and to work with the ECB is an incredible honour. The charity’s work has proved life-changing for so many participants and we’re very excited about the opportunity to bring our work to young people in every county across the country.”
