Suffolk County Cricket Board

The Suffolk Cricket Board (SCB) has a formal understanding with the England and Wales Cricket Board. The ECB has devolved the responsibility of the management and governance of the game in Suffolk to the SCB. The SCB as part of its agreement receives an amount of funding from the ECB and other partners, and the support of a paid official the “Cricket Development Manager” who is employed by the ECB to work alongside the SCB to improve the recreational game in the county. As part of its responsibility the SCB is required to achieve a number of improvements on an annual basis that reflect both the national and local agendas.

The SCB has a vision for the future of the game in the county which is described below.

“To enable and encourage all people who wish to participate in the game of cricket in Suffolk to achieve their full potential at the level and in the discipline they choose.”

The Board is elected on an annual basis at the County Associations AGM.

As part of its work it will be working hard to improve its overall communication to its members and the overall community as a whole in 2009 through the following key mediums:

• The use of the SCB website, with regular update news items from the Board.
• An annual Club road show, more news to follow shortly.
