At the very top of its agenda was securing a contractual partnership with the ECB, effective from February 2020, that would provide vital funding to support its activities moving forward. Over the course of last summer, various NCC directors held meetings with some of the biggest County Boards, de fi ned by participation, to discuss the NCC’s role within the game, where it might support County Boards’ own delivery programmes and how its own proposed delivery streams should be aligned best to support the recreational game in general. Through the last quarter of 2019, the NCC entered into a series of meetings and presentations with ECB executive management and, through the process, was able to identify and agree its role, engagement and funding for a two year period from February 2020 to end of January 2022. The core elements of the NCC’s engagement focussed around four principal strands: • Bringing the voice of ‘hard to reach’ cricket entities to the ECB, to support national programmes and initiatives • Through the of fi ces of its member/partner, the National Asian Cricket Council (NACC), maintaining the speci fi c agreements with the ECB to support its South Asian strategy delivery and to partner in activities that help realise the outcomes identi fi ed between the two bodies • Maintaining and developing the League Cricket Conference (LCC) membership to promote common practice among leagues and to support, advise and nurture leagues not af fi liated to the ECB or County Boards, bringing them within the fold of the governing body
