MCC Members

In accordance with MCC Rules 20 and 21 we wish to requisition an SGM to approve the creation of an MCC Board of Enquiry to investigate the affairs of the English Cricket Board (ECB) and recommend a Cricket Constitution that is appropriate for the governing body of our national sport.

It was in 1969 that the Home Secretary James Callaghan decreed that a national sport could not be controlled by a private organisation. Today it is within the unregulated control of a private company that is neither publicly accountable nor properly constituted.

Recent events prove the ECB is guilty of bringing the game into disrepute

The traditional game of English cricket cannot continue in the sole ownership of a private commercial company with no independent directors, a financial director who is not a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and no trustee or guardian of the public interest.
