NatWest CricketForce

NatWest CricketForce

NatWest CricketForce is a nationwide initiative aimed at cricket clubs. The programme is designed to bring clubs and local community closer together, and ensure they’re ready for the new season.

NatWest CricketForce is held over an allocated weekend prior to the start of the season (2020 dates: 27th to 29th March). However, "following the Government’s latest Coronavirus COVID19 advice around social distancing, it is with sadness and reluctance that we recommend that all forms of recreational cricket are for now suspended. This extends to training, pre-season friendlies and any associated cricket activity."
