WHO WE ARE

The England and Wales Cricket Board is the national governing body for all cricket in England and Wales, supporting the game at every level – from grassroots to professional.
We believe cricket is a force for good that can have an enduring impact on everyone’s lives and we have an ambitious strategy to inspire a generation to say ‘cricket is a game for me’. It provides great entertainment. It teaches important skills, both physical and social. It can help inclusion and social cohesion, bringing communities together.
The ECB wants cricket to be the most inclusive sport in England and Wales. The ECB welcomes applications from all backgrounds to ensure we deliver our Inspiring Generations strategy and fulfil our purpose to connect communities and improve lives through cricket.

This role will also lead a dynamic communications team to craft compelling stories, foster engagement, and grow cricket’s reach both nationally and globally. The role will also serve as a key advisor to the Executive team on reputational issues and proactive public positioning. Additionally, they will also have executive-level responsibility for public affairs and Government relations, working on a range of issues where cricket and the public sector interact.
