Whilst coronavirus restrictions were in place, we engaged with the whole sport sector, including the England and Wales Cricket Board as cricket’s national governing body, to understand the evolving challenges and support recovery. No cricket organisations applied for funding through the package and therefore did not receive Survival Package support. Every eligible organisation who could demonstrate an urgent financial need in alignment with the fund criteria received support from the package.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 26/05/2022 13:02:31 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
