Just over a year later, the initiative was awarded Best Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Initiative at the <a href=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/cy\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Welsh Sports Association<\/a> (WSA) Sports Industry Awards 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the year leading up the inaugural event last June, ethnic minority membership had grown by 13% in seniors and 11% in juniors, while female participation had increased by 55% among girls and 42% among women in the two years previous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s no surprise that EDI takes such a prominent role in the organisations\u2019 ambitions and operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to the WSA, interim CEO of Cricket Wales Mark Frost explained why it\u2019s so vital.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s important for us is that we quite genuinely have done nothing for the sake of it,\u201d he told us. \u201cThis is an authentic approach across all our staff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCricket\u2019s a unique sport where you get involved in a club, and you\u2019ll be connected with such a broad range of people, for example coaching a group of five-year-olds in one moment or paying with older veterans in their 70s, men and women, and a range of different cultural backgrounds.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou just meet people you wouldn\u2019t normally meet, and that\u2019s one of the sport\u2019s real positives.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1016\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-5-1016x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29179\" style=\"width:600px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-5-1016x1024.png 1016w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-5-298x300.png 298w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-5-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-5-768x774.png 768w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-5-1524x1536.png 1524w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-5.png 1784w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1016px) 100vw, 1016px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A whole host of initiatives kick-started by the EDI Plan are testament to their commitment to progressing equity in cricket.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Delivery initiatives such as the Ramadan midnight Tapeball League, Ramadan Iftar for women, Chance to Shine Street Hubs, Wicketz community hubs, Disability Cricket, LGBTQ+ workshops for clubs, inclusive stadium accommodation needs and supporting female-friendly facilities &amp; menstrual hygiene needs in club cricket demonstrate why wide-ranging-participation has increased so much.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, as such, Cricket Wales and Glamorgan Cricket were awarded Best Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Initiative at last year\u2019s WSA Sports Industry Awards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone often says in these situation \u2018I\u2019m absolutely delighted\u2019, but we absolutely were,\u201d Mark stated.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat night was the WSA\u2019s first ever Awards ceremony, so to be applauded by your peers and to get that industry recognition on such an occasion was amazing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut secondly, in such a challenging year for cricket as a whole (with the ICEC Report in June 2023), to get that award was particularly pleasing, and that was echoed in September when Glamorgan won the EDI Award at the ECB Business of Cricket Awards a couple months later, too!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29180\" style=\"width:556px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-2-391x260.jpg 391w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29181\" style=\"width:468px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wsa.wales\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cricket-Wales-EDI-4-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plaque awarded to them had proudly sat on the foyer wall at Sophia Gardens but, piling up the awards, Mark assured the WSA that there would be a trophy cabinet built in the near future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it won\u2019t be a bad idea, given that EDI remains at the forefront of cricket\u2019s future in Wales.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019ve had an EDI action plan for over ten years which has evolved over that time but, importantly, over the last couple of years we\u2019ve had significant prompts to make that even more front and centre in what we\u2019re doing,\u201d Mark explained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne was the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket Report (ICEC), which challenged the whole game around sexism, racism, and elitism, and that has very much shaped our approach in terms of urgency and sharpening up our work.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s been particularly about making things more equitable as we look to develop talented cricketers, taking away issues such as cost, but also accelerating attempts to put the women\u2019s and girls\u2019 game on a similar platform, both participation-wise and talent pathway-wise.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has been a particular area of success for Cricket Wales since receiving their WSA Sports Industry Award, with around a third of clubs in Wales boasting a girls\u2019 section and half boasting a female section.
