for Clubs and Leagues......
In this week’s ECB Bulletin we have information about #RedforRuth, virtual stadiums and injury surveillance.
The Ruth Strauss Foundation are asking you to host a #RedforRuth event this summer, bringing cricket communities together and raising awareness and funds to support more families facing one of life's toughest tests.
Just like the #RedforRuth Test match at Lord's, get involved and turn your club red. Red kit, red stumps, decorating the pavilion; however you go red between 6-21 August, sign up your club and be in with a chance of winning some incredible prizes, including visits from England legends or new kit.
With the help of 10 imaginative children, The Hundred has unveiled an immersive stadium build in the world’s biggest sandbox video game, Minecraft.
To get inspiration to design this stadium, Minecraft-loving kids across the country were invited to take part in The Hundred’s ‘Every Block Counts’ competition, tasked with drawing, painting, sketching or building their ultimate cricket stadium, with no limits on what it could contain.
The virtual stadium world is now open to explore and interact via the link below.
For several years International and County teams have been involved with the ECB injury surveillance programme, with the aim of understanding injury risk. This programme has been extended across the recreational game, with ‘Injury Reporting’ found in the Day-to-Day section of the Site Administration of play-cricket.com.
The injury data input into play-cricket.com will be actively monitored, analysed and reported upon each year. Please record any injury sustained by your club members, senior and/or junior, at games or in training via the link below.
