Warwickshire outline their plan to get cricket inclusivity involved

Warwickshire has outlined their commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion in cricket with the publication of their updated Edgbaston for Everyone plan.

Edgbaston for Everyone documents the progress Warwickshire has made since the launch of the club EDI plan two years ago, and its pledges for the future.

Highlights from the last 12 months include organising the country's first LGBTQ+ cricket tournament, hosting the inaugural Vaisakhi Cricket Cup at Edgbaston, and creating an all-female grounds crew for a Women's International match.

The club has also introduced a new youth selection system to reduce unconscious bias - a project that is attracting more applications from state school children - and expanded opportunities for disabled cricketers.

Edgbaston for Everyone is committed to increasing its school engagement programme through the new Warwickshire Cricket Foundation charity, providing employment, training, and education opportunities for local people and expanding its EDI training programme for staff.
