Be Involved - 'Do a fovour'
It’s fair to say that cricket could not survive without its huge army of unsung heroes. Volunteering, just to be clear, includes everyone who gives their time in some way to help the game.
It includes small gestures like websites, media, match reports or making teas at a game to more fundamental contributions of course, such as preparing the facilities, or coaching kids’ teams, which may of course include the stars of the future.
It’s no exaggeration to say that big stars like Andrew Strauss, Kevin Peterson and Andrew Flintoff simply wouldn’t be where they are today without the hard work of volunteers.
