We’re delighted to announce the winners of the 2025 Cricket Collective Awards, celebrating the remarkable volunteers who make cricket flourish across Buckinghamshire.

The Cricket Collective represents the network of dedicated volunteers recognised by the ECB — the heart of the recreational game and the reason our sport continues to grow and thrive.

Every year, the Bucks Cricket CIO team and trustees are inspired by the nominations sent in by local clubs, highlighting individuals whose commitment, enthusiasm, and love for the game make such a difference within their communities.

A huge congratulations to all of our award winners:
