Thanks @AnnieChave Since publication, I have already had several key facts corroborated by key figures close to the 'negotiation' in 2004 #ashes#televisedcricket#tvsportsrights#englishcricket

Honestly these outdated views in the game are exactly why we are in this position. Unfortunately the decision makers hold onto these myths. ‘The Black community only like football, and asian community only interested in education’ Seriously the game deserves better.

Gate keepers like this forever holding cricket back - more than likely was part of the new ECB EDI 12 point plan! Time to move these man on!!!

Oh no. Middlesex chairman has just done the "black people don't like cricket, they like football" thing in front of DCMS. Unchallenged. Followed it up with "asian people are too interested in academia". Literally saying this right now live in front of the entire world

Honestly, you sometimes wonder if cricket might have a class problem

I have 2 boys in the @SussexCCC pathway & it costs nearly £1000 per season per kid (coaching + specific training & playing kit they “need”). Last year they tried to charge £300 for 10 ONLINE sessions! Been appalled by this for years and it needs to change 😡

I couldn’t agree more with @robkey612 regarding County youth cricket being free for those selected. The cost to parents is huge & it just creates another barrier into a game that already has many! This needs to be looked at seriously

🗣️ "That money should go back into county cricket to fund all youth cricket. All age-group county cricket should be free." Rob Key has set out what he would do to improve the quality of county cricket in England following the #Ashes defeat 🧐

😳wtf????? Pricing young talent out of a youth system is atrocious. If this happens at your county make as much noise as you can. I am praying this isn’t the case at @TrentBridge or @NorthantsCCC ??? If it is across the board then @ECB_cricket fix this NOW!

"Pragmatists saying I'm living in cloud cuckoo land. Would a terrestrial broadcaster even want to show a home Test? Could they afford it?" | @huwzat thecricketer.com/Topics/prem…
With Sky reportedly close to another deal, does that mean no terrestrial Tests ever again?

With Sky reportedly close to another deal, does that mean no terrestrial Tests ever again?

HUW TURBERVILL: Not one of Sir Alastair Cook's Test runs was shown on free-to-air television. While Tom Harrison did quite well to get BBC back involved again, the existing deal (2020-24) didn't go...

I LOVE #CricketTwitter. I love the discussions and the general preference for red ball cricket. I love the desire to make cricket better and more accessible, to get it back into state schools and onto free-view tv. I love the friends I’ve made and the thought of the season ahead.

I was also stunned to hear that promising youngsters are being charged for coaching etc. How can cricket be more inclusive with things like that and England matches being hidden behind an expensive paywall? It’ll continue to push away kids from poorer backgrounds.

Thus continuing the slow death of cricket. It needs to be open to the masses.
