Fancy the chance to celebrate the 2019 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup alongside your club teammates and local community? For the first time in 20 years, the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup (2019 CWC) will be returning to England and Wales and with it – the promise of one of the most exciting cricketing summers in a generation. Celebrating 2019 CWC To mark this momentous occasion, the ICC and ECB have announced a special programme for clubs to celebrate the CWC, with the aim to engage one million kids throughout the tournament. Clubs will be given the opportunity to apply to become a Cricket World Cup Club, put on a family day to celebrate with their local community and engage a whole new audience through the excitement of the tournament. How do the family day celebrations work and what will it involve? Clubs are being asked to run child/family-based activity focused on one weekend (7-9 June 2019), helping to better connect themselves with the local community and engage a younger generation. 8
