OPEN A PARTNERSHIP 2022 - The Yorkshire County Cricket Club
LORD KAMLESH PATEL
      2021 was the most difficult year in the 158-year history of Yorkshire County
     Cricket Club, once the beating heart of English cricket and the most successful
    county club in history. While the world grappled with the ongoing impact of the
    pandemic, the Club became synonymous with institutional racism and appeared
       on the front pages for all the wrong reasons. We have been rocked to our
                                       foundations.
      I was honoured to be appointed Chair in November 2021, but I was also very
       aware that the rebuild – forging real and lasting change – could not happen
    overnight. Out of adversity, however, I truly believe that there is real opportunity:
        to become a shining example, leading the way for the rest of the sport by
    creating a scalable model on diversity and inclusion and creating a space that is
    welcoming and celebratory of people from all backgrounds. We have started the
                     journey but cannot forget what brought us here.
          I am a proud Yorkshireman. I know how important this Club is for the
    community, the cricketing family and all who are associated with it. Headingley is
     in our hearts, from Ian Botham’s heroics in the 1981 Ashes, to the drama of Ben
     Stokes’ swashbuckling innings taking England over the line against Australia in
                                          2019.

                This is a once in a generation opportunity to
               provide a model for learning and change – both
                  in cricket and across the world of sport.

LORD KAMLESH PATEL
    From day one, I committed to listen, to learn, and to take action. Since that day,
    as a Club we have made some difficult decisions – indeed, some of which have
     been criticised -but all with the clear and singular purpose of addressing the
    wrongs of the past and doing what is right.I want to make all of us in Yorkshire
    proud of this Club, from the youngest ambitious player picking up their first bat
     to our oldest and most venerable Member who has watched us for a lifetime.
       As we enter 2022, I firmly believe that Yorkshire County Cricket Club has
     made significant progress on the long journey to win back pride, as we aim
      to become that beacon to which the rest of the sport can aspire. We have
      taken a long, hard and honest look at the Club and what we need to do: to
    understand individual experiences of discrimination; to review the structures
    and leadership of the club; and to get under the hood of our culture. All of this
     with a single objective: to win back our stature within cricket nationally and
                                     internationally.
    It is my hope that Yorkshire can set a clear template for other clubs to use so
    that we as a sport can raise the standard of how we treat others, and how we
    measure our success. It is also my hope that the people of Yorkshire and our
           supporters across the UK can now start to feel a glimmer of pride.
      While we still have a long road and a lot of hard work ahead, the potential
     prize is great: a once in a generation opportunity not only to transform the
    game in Yorkshire, but also provide a model for learning and change – both in
                         cricket and across the world of sport.

DARREN GOUGH MBE
     Yorkshire County Cricket Club has been part of my life since my earliest days in
      cricket when I made my debut in 1989, and I spent 15 happy years at the Club.
    I want to play my part in rebuilding cricket in Yorkshire and I am looking forward to
      working with the exceptionally talented group of players here. I am also aware of
     my wider responsibility to listen to everyone and ensure that every person who is
     associated with this club feels welcome, instilling values we want associated with
       the White Rose: honesty, straight talking, hard work, integrity and excellence.

                I share Lord Patel’s vision for Yorkshire
                 County Cricket Club, and the collective
             determination to face the issues head on with
              a series of positive actions. Change will not
             happen overnight, but I am certain that we can
                      make Headingley roar again

       We took the Yorkshire Diamonds ladies captain, Lauren Winfield-
         Hill up to the SBS Head Office to do a talk to the staff about her
        experiences in professional sport as a female. Over 50 members
           of their staff attended the seminar and we gave away some
      complimentary tickets for those that had joined, to attend one of the
                                 Diamonds fixtures

                           Maxibon – ‘Maxi Blaster’
        An in-bowl activation we ran in association with Maxibon for the
       T20 season involved our match day mascot, Vinny the Viking, firing
       branded YCCC and Maxibon t-shirts into the crowds during certain
       overs in the game. The attached video shows the screen surround
      that we had displayed on our replay screens with the live footage of
     the crowd. It was also accompanied by a certain theme song to get the
                                 crowd going!

     CTC programme has successfully identified three players (boys
      U-12-13,14) and 1 girl (U-17)) who have now since progressed
       into the YCB district and regional pathway system and YPP

PARTNERED TEAMS
        We continue to develop our commitment to nurturing undiscovered cricketing
      talent. In February 2022 we announced the addition of South African franchise the
       Momentum Multiply Titans to its existing partnership with the Lahore Qalandars,
                           who were announced in December 2021.
      This revolutionary relationship will enable the clubs from three continents to find
      talent from diverse communities, offering new opportunities for boys and girls to
     earn scholarships overseas and train with some of the best players in world cricket.
       Momentum Multiply Titans and its Sky Blues Trust have player development at
        the forefront of their organisational objectives, aiming to develop and nurture
          underprivileged young cricketers. This partnership builds on the existing
       relationship with the Lahore Qalandars and Yorkshire County Cricket Club. The
        Lahore Qalandars’ world-famous Players Development Program (PDP) has so
      far engaged over half a million young people across Pakistan, and brought down
       traditional socioeconomic barriers to the sport, providing free kit and access to
                               world class facilities and coaching.

                       The Momentum Multiply Titans and
                         Lahore Qalandars are leaders in
                        ensuring that cricket is accessible
                       for everyone, and both already have
                        phenomenal outreach initiatives in
                            their respective countries.

PARTNERED TEAMS
  The vision of both Yorkshire and the Qalandars to improve
  access to cricket globally is fantastic, and we are excited to
   join them in this important work. The opportunity for our
professional players to learn and develop alongside each other
              will be beneficial for all three sides,
 “Diversity and inclusion in cricket should be an essential aim
across our sport, and we are delighted to join this partnership
to improve access and opportunities for young players from all
                        three countries
                 Dr. Jacques Faul, Chief Executive Officer of
                         Momentum Multiply Titans

   This partnership is a landmark step in the right direction
that will have a great impact in our cricketing circle. This is a
 terrific opportunity for all of us to make a difference as well
 as a valuable contribution to creating diversity in the field of
                              cricket.
