  • UPDATED GUIDANCE for PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY in WALES from 27Th March 2021
    UPDATED GUIDANCE FOR PERMITTED OUTDOOR CRICKET ACTIVITY IN WALES th From 27 March 2021 SUMMARY Following the latest Welsh Government announcement, Cricket Wales and The England and Wales Cricket Board have updated our guidance to reflect the latest measures. This guidance replaces the previous guidance issued from 13th March. From Saturday 27 March: • You can use outdoor cricket nets with members of your household or support bubble, or with people from one other household, as long as the total number of people engaging in cricket activity is no more than 6 (excluding any carers or children under 11 from either of those households as they do not count towards the group size limit). • One to one coaching can resume. The coach counts as one household meaning that the other participants (up to 3) must be from the same household as each other (excluding any carers or children under 11 from either households). • Social distancing rules must be observed. • Clubs should refer to Part 2 for guidance on the preparation of their ground and safe installation of nets. • The end of stay local guidance, meaning that you can travel to play permitted outdoor cricket anywhere in Wales. For under 18s (persons who were aged under 18 on 31 August 2020), this means organised outdoor cricket activity can take place anywhere in Wales. ‘Outdoor organised cricket activity’ is defined as: Sport which is formally organised by a qualified instructor, club, national governing body, company or charity and follows sport-specific guidance. If the sport is not organised by one of these groups (for example, some friends having a hit in the nets) or the sport’s NGB guidance is not being followed (for example, a cricket club ignoring the ECB’s safety measures), this is considered to be informal or self- organised sport and must abide by the social gathering limits.

  • Wales and International Cricket: Some Key Issues
    PET(4) CRI 05 Petitions Committee Consultation on petition P-04-335 The Establishment of a Welsh Cricket Team Response from Professor Rod Lyall Wales and International Cricket: Some Key Issues There can be no doubt that in both men’s and women’s cricket Wales could be one of the top six countries in Europe if its administrative structure could be adjusted to enable proper national sides to be fielded and official international fixtures to be played. More drastic changes would be needed to allow Wales to become an Associate member of the ICC since the links to the England and Wales Cricket Board would need to be changed for either the CBW or the WCA to be recognised as the official governing body. If Wales is serious about international cricket on a par with Scotland and Ireland, however, these issues will need to be addressed. Roy Morgan, Encyclopedia of World Cricket (Cheltenham 2007), 237 Unquestionably, the current status of Welsh cricket is in many respects anomalous. Although there have been periods in which a Welsh national team has been regarded as an international side on the same basis as those of other countries – even participating in the first-ever ICC Trophy in 1979, despite the fact that Wales was not an Associate member of the International Cricket Council – this has never become an established practice, and for most purposes cricket in Wales forms a minor part of the England and Wales Cricket Board (significantly, referred to both by itself and by others as the ECB). It should not be thought, however, that this is a unique anomaly, or that the relationship between national status in cricket and political statehood is self-evident.

  • Focus Group Discussions with Stakeholders, 25 January 2018
    Health, Social Care and Sport Committee Inquiry into the physical activity of children and young people – focus group discussions with stakeholders, 25 January 2018 Discussions with representatives of Ramblers Cymru, Children in Wales, Play Wales and the Mental Health Foundation Barriers Need to look at what happens to make children inactive. At secondary school age the obvious one is peer pressure. If you are the only one in your group who’s interested in being active then it’s really hard to take part. Some of the barriers – emotional or social - that prevent young people being active, for example being overweight or have self-harm scars, not very good at sport (low self-esteem). Impact of poverty – communities without opportunity i.e. no play areas or places to hang out; however some socially economically deprived areas report greater play opportunities. Footpaths are not well signposted. People are not confident to use the paths. Outcomes drive the service provision; if you set the outcomes on obtaining maths and English that is what schools will focus on. Example of two girls who wanted to play football but faced discriminatory attitudes from boys in the team; not helped by coach, who always picked them last because they were girls. Role of adults/parents/family Adults are less tolerant to children playing out (no ball games signs, etc). Parents are more fearful about their children playing out either because of potential dangers or because of other people’s attitudes (seen as a nuisance). Sometimes parents who work full time don’t have the energy to engage in physical activity; they’re not good role models.
