The Cricket Collective Awards – 2025 Winners

The Cricket Collective Awards – 2025 Winners

The 2025 Cricket Collective Awards winners have been announced and we're celebrating some incredible volunteers from across Sussex. 

The Cricket Collective is the overarching term from the ECB that encompasses all volunteers across the recreational game, those we simply could not do without. 

Every year, the Sussex Cricket Foundation team and trustees take great pleasure in reading the citations submitted by club representatives, about the outstanding individuals who give so much time, energy and passion to cricket and their club. 

The winners have been announced across our social media channels during October and can be found on the Foundation - X, Instagram, Facebook & TikTok channels.

These winners will be invited to a match day during the 2026 season, to be presented with their awards and as a thank you for everything they do, and will continue to do, for cricket in Sussex.
