England And Wales Cricket Board To Invest $149M In Community Cricket

The England and Wales Cricket Board will invest £96M ($149M) in community cricket in the next four years after a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the ECB's recreational assembly. The MOU was agreed during a day of meetings at the Kia Oval, which culminated in the ECB's annual meeting at which Jane Stichbury and Rachael Heyhoe Flint were reelected as independent members to the ECB board and the election of Richard Thompson (Surrey) and Andy Nash (Somerset) confirmed. ECB Chair Giles Clarke said, "During the winter the game has diligently worked up detailed four-year plans, which resulted today in the completion of MOUs with the first-class and recreational game and the commitment to invest £96M into community cricket during that period" (ECB).
