An independent review found ongoing diversity issues in English county cricket, noting that women now hold 37% of board seats, up from 11% in 2019, but just one county has a female chair. Ethnic minorities make up only 6% of county leadership. The report raised concerns about minimal Black representation at senior levels and highlighted that Asian youth participation drops sharply at ages 15-16, citing discrimination and exclusion as key factors.
