CKC’s Clubs in Need Launched by Nasser Hussain OBE

Last week, former England Captain, Sky Broadcaster, and CKC President,  Nasser Hussain OBE Launched our brand new “Clubs in Need” Programme, aimed at supporting struggling cricket clubs and empowering young people. 

Cricket transcends sport, and cricket clubs are its heart, especially in inner cities, where support is essential to keep the game thriving and to attract more young enthusiasts. This was the central theme of yesterday’s launch of the “Clubs in Need” initiative by former England cricket captain Nasser Hussain OBE, who also serves as the President of Capital Kids Cricket (CKC). The groundbreaking “Clubs in Need” initiative was introduced at the Leyton County Cricket Ground, followed by an evening event where Nasser Hussain engaged with invited guests, discussing “Clubs in Need” and the incredible summer of cricket. This transformative programme aims to rejuvenate struggling cricket clubs while bridging the gap in transitioning young cricketers from soft ball to hard ball cricket, addressing critical community challenges.
