Managing Director of Berkshire Cricket Foundation, Mark Roche said, 'Whilst the short term aim for everyone is to get through this very serious situation, we want to ensure that Cricket and in particular our Clubs are in a position to restart their activities when it is safe and right to do so. Cricket and its clubs have the ability to help their communities to recover from the difficulties that Coronavirus is causing, and we need to ensure that the clubs are also supported through this difficult time. Clubs need to do what they can to reduce the immediate financial impact that the pandemic may cause them by looking to reduce expenditure and seek financial support where needed, whilst also looking to the future and what they need to do to be able to get back into action when possible.’
‘Todays announcement with the details and scope of the ECB Emergency Support Programme for Cricket Clubs, aligned with the other sources of funding that are available, will enable the clubs to ride out the current storm, be ready to pull the covers off, toss up, and take first strike as and when the time is right. We will continue to engage with our clubs, leagues, and other organisations to keep our plans fluid, and to react quickly to the ever changing situation.’
