Recommendation 1

1

Mandate ECB to publish progress report on ICEC recommendations and equity impact in cricket.

Recommendation
We welcome the ECB’s unreserved apology to those affected by discrimination in cricket, and the commitments the board have made to acting on much of the report of the Independent Commission into Equity in Cricket. However, we are concerned that their ambition may not translate into action on some of the ICEC’s most powerful recommendations. If this happens the ECB’s aim to be the most inclusive sport in England and Wales may not be reached. We recommend that the ECB publish a progress report on the first anniversary of the publication of the ICEC’s report responding to each recommendation and an assessment of the impact on equity on cricket.
