Sussex has put together a document detailing proposals "...to arrest the decreasing levels of playing participation in the recreational game and to enhance the quality of cricket played in the County."

This follows recommendations from a Sussex Cricket Strategic Group, and in turn derives from the broad principles developed by Jon Filby and described here more than a year ago.
Response to the consulation is sought from individual members as well as clubs and associations, and is therefore one of the few open and democratic processes that members can participate in.
The proposals extend beyond the recreational game. Below is part of the proposal for the professional game which will be adopted if no negative or differing responses are received:
7.1. With regard to the professional cricket played by Sussex CCC, the intention is to provide great sporting entertainment, to develop players to play for England and to achieve cricketing success, through challenging for top national honours in the targeted trophies, each year.
7.2. The criteria for achieving these aspirations are as follows:
the team should include a minimum of 7 English qualified players in first class cricket, but it is recognised that this might not always be possible;
the balance of the professional squad should be competitive for the competitions that the Club prioritises;
a successful, competitive team environment should be maintained in which young players can thrive;
all SCCC players shall play within the laws of cricket and the MCC’s Spirit of Cricket, and shall be ambassadors for Sussex CCC on and off the field;
the Club shall have the appropriate structure of coaching and support staff and that all coaching staff achieve the highest qualifications possible;
there shall be a high-level scouting system;
the SCCC Academy and youth development structure shall be of the highest quality, for both genders. It is acknowledged that there must be appropriate measures for assessing whether the standards aspired to are being met. A good example of such a measure is the ECB’s annual Academy Audit.
The consultation is open until the 31st January. Full details are under Club Documents on the Sussex website and below are links to the Strategy document and the formal response process.
