• New format dominates five-year blueprint to attract more fans
• Tom Harrison says venture is ‘for a broader audience’
The England and Wales Cricket Board staged what it described as a “whole game meeting” at Millbank Tower in London on Monday, where it brought together representatives of all the nation’s counties and clubs to talk through the five-year plan for the sport.
The ECB presented a strategy document called Inspiring Generations that contained a lot of information on where the game is now and even more about where it wants it to get to, but rather less on how it is actually going to move between the two. The little details of what the ECB is actually going to do in order to deliver any of the many fine things it is promising will, we’re told, follow sometime soon.
