English cricket organization cuts 20% of jobs due to pandemic

 


LONDON (AP) England’s Cricket Governing Body proposes a 20% reduction in its workforce in response to the financial impact of the coronavirus outbreak, which it believes is the main sporting challenge of the modern age.

A total of 62 positions on the England and Wales Cricket Board will be removed, CEO Tom Harrison said Tuesday, as part of efforts to become a leaner and more flexible organization and secure the future of our sport.

It is now an indisputable fact that the impact of this pandemic is significant and will be long-lasting, Harrison said. There is also great uncertainty about the future, and it is vital that we take more steps now to ensure the future financial sustainability of cricket in England and Wales.

Harrison said cricket has already lost more than 100 million pounds ($ 127 million) and the financial impact is likely to be 200 million pounds ($ 254 million) if there is further disruption next year, which many expect.

The English men have managed to play their full international schedule this summer – with matches in various formats against the West Indies, Ireland, Pakistan and Australia – but they were standing on empty ground.

The county game returned late, again in mostly empty stadiums.

The ECB had to postpone the launch of The Hundred, a new competition introduced with much fanfare and no small cost that failed to take full advantage of England’s Cricket World Cup victory last year.

The position we created to come together like a game and grow cricket after a remarkable year in 2019 was truly groundbreaking, Harrison said. Our ambition and energy are unchanged, but how we get there now must look significantly different from what we originally planned.
