Following discussions at the recent Members’ Forum, the Club has set out the next steps regarding Sir Andrew Strauss’s High-Performance Review.
A copy of the review is available to view HERE .
Brief overview:
- The overarching objective of the Review is to enable England Men’s teams to be number 1 in the world across all formats of the game within five years.
- The review seeks to provide recommendations in four key areas, including a thriving domestic game.
- Most recommendations do not relate to the domestic structure and instead focus on other parts of the game which need to improve if England are to be successful.
- A minimum of 12 Counties need to vote in favour of any changes to the domestic structure of the game.
- It has been determined by County Chairs that there will be no change to the number of matches in the County Championship in 2023.
- There will be no reduction in the number of first-class counties.
What happens now?
The proposals are in the “consultation stage”, with recommendations to submitted to First Class Counties on Monday 12th September 2022.
