EDI

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Action Plan aims to combat discrimination and make cricket in Warwickshire accessible and enjoyable for all.

Warwickshire Cricket Foundation is dedicated to increasing equality, diversity, and inclusion in cricket throughout the county.

We believe cricket is a game that everyone can enjoy, whether they play, watch, officiate, volunteer, or get involved in any other way. While we strive to ensure that all of our work meets this promise, we will continue to add areas to this site that are particularly relevant.

Amil Khan is our Lead Director for EDI at WCF, and the EDI Sub-Committee. Click here to read our EDI policy.

If you have experienced discrimination in a cricketing environment, you can report it to the ECB here.

Report Discrimination

If you are aware of or observe discrimination at any level of cricket in Warwickshire, please let us know. Whatever prejudice you are aware of or have witnessed, your report will be reviewed and addressed by the appropriate cricket organisation. Reporting discrimination can help us make cricket a welcome, inclusive, diverse game for everyone in Warwickshire.
