Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Report 2025

Good Progress during 2025… But still more to do!!

Cricket is a game for everyone. It has the power to connect communities, improve lives and bring people together from diverse backgrounds. Widening participation and inspiring more people to say “Cricket is a Game for Me” remains central to DCF’s strategy. In 2025, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) continued to be integral to our purpose, shaping how we design, deliver and review activity across the county. We remain committed to identifying and removing barriers that prevent people from accessing the game or feeling welcome, and to taking meaningful action where inequalities exist.

Our 2025 EDI Plan was our fifth annual plan focused on EDI and this report shares the progress we made during the year against that plan. We are proud of the progress we have made during 2025, which is reflected in this report, but we recognise that there is still much more to do. Our work on EDI will continue in 2026 and beyond, and we will continue to provide annual updates on our progress.
