Ian Martin
National Disability Cricket Manager, England and Wales Cricket Board

“ECB has worked in partnership with ECAD for many years to help to develop opportunities for cricketers with hearing impairments to play the game.  We recognise that whilst cricketers with hearing impairment are not disabled, there are communication difficulties which can impact on the way that an individual participates in the game.  ECAD have successfully developed pathways from participation level through to performance and provide the players for a successful England team.  We are committed to continuing this successful partnership and to delivering more opportunities to play and to coach the game for people with hearing impairments”

Peter Ackerley
Head of Development, England and Wales Cricket Board

“Cricket is a game to be enjoyed by all members of our society and we greatly value ECAD’s contribution in delivering programmes that embody our “One Game” ethos, enabling those with hearing impairments to participate in our wonderful game. ” 

Mike Gatting
Managing Director Cricket Partnerships, England and Wales Cricket Board

“To deliver a truly equitable game development programme ECB needs reliable partners who are experts in their field. Our partnership with ECAD to develop the game for those with hearing impairment is essential in this process”
