Roadmap for return of recreational cricket

The ECB have identified five steps for the recreational game’s proposed phased return in England this summer.

England is currently in step 3 – which allows for small group training sessions of up to six people while respecting social distancing.

As cricket is a non-contact sport that involves individual disciplines within a team environment, forms of the game can be played while respecting social distancing. The ECB will continue to be led by UK government advice and will only move into step 4 when the guidance allows and when it is medically safe to do so.
