Cricket Wales is one of 39 County Cricket Boards that make up the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and is also recognised by Sport Wales and Welsh Government as the National Governing Body for cricket in Wales. Our vision is simple; it is for ‘Cricket to Capture the imagination of Wales’ and our goal is to deliver our strategy Inspiring Generations in partnership with our colleagues and friends at Glamorgan Cricket, and our primary funders, the ECB, Sport Wales, Chance to Shine and the Lord's Taverners.
We exist ‘to lead, inspire and influence the growth, quality and accessibility of cricket in Wales’. We are made up of many different cricket organisations from across the length and breadth of Wales, all sharing a passion for cricket.
Our mission is focused on supporting the objectives of not only Cricket Wales and Glamorgan, but also the ambitions of both ECB and the Welsh Government by ‘connecting communities and improving well-being by inspiring people to discover their passion for cricket.’
Over 250 clubs, leagues and associations involving almost 25,000 people make up Cricket Wales. These include: Cricket Clubs & Communities; Senior Leagues; Junior Leagues; Cricket Groundskeeper’s Associations(CGA’s); Wales Association of Cricket Officials; Wales National County and ECB Coaches Association.
