Our National Hub Programme provides talented youngsters with a pathway to progress into CAG squads. We spoke to new Glamorgan spinner Romano Franco who graduated from our Wrexham Hub, where he developed skills and built friendships on his way to becoming a professional cricketer.
We are thrilled to confirm that ECB will continue to provide considerable financial support to MCCF over the next few years. This funding, which will total over £1m, will help us to continue growing our National Hub Programme, offering free cricket to state-educated children.
