The hubs aim to increase opportunities for young people from underserved communities, bridging the gap between participation programmes and county pathways.

The hubs focus on talent, helping promising young players who have been involved in mass participation events or non-traditional formats to join cricket clubs, enhance their hard-ball skills, and access talent pathways.

Contact Gabby Basketter, MCC Foundation West Midlands Hub Manager, for more information on 2024-25 entry.
