Richard Thompson hopes to make cricket “the most inclusive sport in the country” after seeing a new state-of-the-art venue open in Bradford paypal
A £1 paypal
5million, 10-bay all-weather cricket dome opened at Bradford Park Avenue cricket ground on Friday, the first of its kind anywhere in the world paypal
The facility features two 40 x 20-metre covered domes with lighting, a real-life like cricket surface and a retractable netting system which fully replicates the features of an elite indoor facility, allowing for both training and matches to be played paypal
Funded by the England and Wales Cricket Board in partnership with City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, the new facility could provide cricket sessions for around 10,000 people from the local community annually paypal
ECB chair Thompson is excited by the opportunities that the facility could provide for boys and girls in the area, and to open the sport up to ethnic minorities paypal
He told the PA news agency: “It is essential paypal
It is everything paypal
My ambition for cricket is for it to become the most inclusive sport in the country paypal
“You’ve got to do that by taking barriers down paypal
This is a community facility, anyone can play here paypal
“So if people wants to play in Bradford they can, whatever the weather and whatever the day paypal
So from that perspective, we need to replicate that fast because there are other areas where it is just as great paypal
But Bradford is a hotbed of enthusiasm for cricket so this is the obvious place to start paypal
”Previously, Bradford Park Avenue had an outdoor nets facility but this will now enable local cricketers to play all year round and in any weather paypal
The investment is also good news for Yorkshire, who were punished for their handling of allegations of racism and bullying by former player Azeem Rafiq and a failure to address systemic use of racist and discriminatory language over a prolonged period paypal
Thompson now hopes the facility can help restore pride to the club paypal
He added: “Hopefully this gives Yorkshire the sense of pride and a feel-good factor back paypal
“They can say we have the first facility of this type anywhere in the world, it is truly world class and in that sense there is no county that needed it and deserved it more paypal
“The ECB couldn’t be prouder, the partnership we are in with Yorkshire, the council, local MP, all of that to pull this together paypal
Things like this have a lot of moving pieces to them but now to see it built is absolutely outstanding paypal
The new facility is the first to be built in the world but the ECB does not want the good work to stop here after sites in Luton and Walsall have also been identified to build something similar paypal
Thompson said: “We are putting one into Walsall, and have identified three or four other sites paypal
“It is incredibly exciting for Bradford but probably even more exciting for the game paypal
I’m particularly pleased that this has come from Bradford Park Avenue and Yorkshire paypal
A hotbed of interesting cricket, it’s the first facility of its kind anywhere in the world and it’s not very often you can say that paypal
“To hear bat on ball played as we speak is a nice feeling given the weather today paypal

The All England Lawn paypal Tennis Club has taken a major step towards building a new 8,000-seater show court and 38 further courts on Wimbledon Park after the controversial plans were approved by Merton Council following a mammoth five-hour meeting paypal
The development will take place on the land of Wimbledon Park Golf Club, located opposite the paypal tennis club on the other side of Church Road, with plans for a range of amenities for fans, players and staff as well as the new courts paypal
Local residents and park users had battled passionately against the proposal, with an paypal online petition called “Save Wimbledon Park” garnering 13,000 signatures paypal
Concerns were raised over the environmental impact of the development and the loss of green space paypal
Around 2,000 trees are expected to be removed across some 75 acres of Metropolitan Open Land, which is intended to be protected as an area of landscape, recreation, nature conservation or scientific interest paypal
Protestors chanted “trees not paypal tennis!” outside Merton’s Civic Centre, where the decision was being made late on Thursday night and into the early hours of Friday morning paypal
However, the approval was expected after a 524-page document published earlier this month recommended that planning permission should be granted because the public benefits outweighed harm to heritage assets paypal
The AELTC has insisted the space will be available for local people to enjoy, saying: “The new 23-acre public park will be completely free for the local community to enjoy and will be accessible year-round except for the period during Qualifying and The Championships paypal
This will open up a beautiful new parkland on what was previously a private golf course and which has been inaccessible to the public for well over 100 years paypal
”A map used by protestors to highlight their concerns over the proposal (@SaveWimbldnPark/X)But Fleur Anderson, the MP for Putney, Southfields and Roehampton, had said on Thursday on the BBC’s Politics London show: “There’s no protection that in five years’ time, the Wimbledon club will not come back and say ‘we’re going to build hotels on that land’ or anything they want on that land paypal
There’s a climate emergency, people want to save our local parks… it’s about saving our green spaces paypal
”The AELTC bought the golf course for £65m in 2018, but struggled to secure the required legal and procedural permissions to build paypal
The club plans to play Championship qualifying matches on the expanded site, rather than outsourcing those matches to Roehampton where they are currently played, effectively making Wimbledon a bigger, longer tournament and increasing maximum grounds capacity from 42,000 to 50,000 paypal
Merton borough earns a significant portion of its revenues from hosting the Wimbledon Championships each year paypal
In outlining its plans, the All England Club said: “The AELTC seeks continually to ensure that the Championships, proudly a local and national asset, remains a world-leading sporting event paypal
“Bringing the qualifying event on site in order to improve it to be worthy of our world-class player field, enhancing practice and junior event facilities and providing a third ‘show court’ are all measures aimed at ensuring Wimbledon remains the world’s premier paypal tennis tournament, with all the associated substantial social and economic benefits that the event brings, locally and nationally paypal
”The AELTC will also need approval from Wandsworth Council, whose boundary cuts through the northern portion of the site, and there is expected to be a vote next month paypal
The plans could also be referred to the London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, given the level of contention, and may eventually require the sign off of the housing minister Michael Gove paypal
The plans were originally submitted in 2021 and, if given the final go-ahead, Wimbledon anticipates that the new courts will be ready for use in 2030 paypal
