The Cricket Collective Awards 2026

We’re delighted to share that The Cricket Collective Awards 2026 are now open for nominations and we’d love your help in recognising the incredible volunteers who make cricket clubs such a special place to be.

We all see the effort our volunteers put in every week - coaching sessions, junior support, ground prep, fundraising, welcoming new members, and all the unseen jobs that keep things running. If someone has made your cricket experience better, you can nominate them for an award.

Nominations to be submitted via this form: Cricket Collective Awards 2026: Nomination Form 

Deadline for nominations: 5pm on 30th June 2026.

At Bucks Cricket, we will select local winners during the season, and those winners will then be put forward for national recognition. Your nomination could see someone from your club celebrated across England and Wales.

There are 13 award categories this year, covering everything from coaching and young leaders to community impact and off field support. Whatever someone contributes, there’s a place to recognise them.

Discover the categories, criteria and how to make your nomination stand out in the comprehensive Club Toolkit.

Thank you for taking a moment to celebrate the people who give so much to the game. Your nomination really does make a difference.

Cricket Collective Learning Hub

Last month the ECB launched The Cricket Collective Learning Hub that houses tools and resources to support volunteers and clubs across England and Wales. In the first 5 weeks, the Learning Hub has had over 2,000 visitors, with the most frequently visited pages relating to recruiting, celebrating and communicating effectively with volunteers. Please use this resource to aid your cricket club’s development.
