Help us to make our club and our sport more inclusive across the board by taking part in this survey for the ECB.

What’s the culture of cricket like? Does everyone have the same opportunities to play, progress, coach or umpire, regardless of their gender, race, social class or anything else? Is anyone advantaged or disadvantaged because of who they are rather than how well they do?

The Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket has been mandated to look at issues of diversity, inclusion and equity in cricket, at all levels and in all roles.

We have commissioned Versiti, specialists in this field, to find out about the perceptions, expectations and lived experiences of people connected with cricket - in whatever capacity - and discover what hinders or helps inclusion and equity in the game.

What this survey covers

This survey explores your experiences of diversity, inclusion, equity and sense of belonging in cricket. We will ask you questions about:

● You and how you self-identify
● Your involvement with cricket
● Your views about, and lived experiences of, equity in the game of cricket
● Your perceptions of leadership on diversity, inclusion and equity in cricket
● Your suggestions on how to make the game more diverse, inclusive and equitable

We are keen to gather as many ‘stories’ or detailed descriptions of personal experiences that bring the issues to life. This is why the survey provides many options to describe your experiences in open-ended boxes. Please make use of them: your voices need to be heard.

We are also mindful that it can be upsetting to report experiences of discrimination. This is why we have commissioned experts to lead this project.
If there are themes where you have little to contribute, feel free to skip.

Whether you are a recreational player or a professional, a volunteer, employee, coach, umpire, parent or a fan, we want to hear from you.

Please take part today.
