Cricket Board Release 2022-26 Strategic Plan
The Bermuda Cricket Board [BCB] has released their 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, which has a vision to “develop and maintain the highest, most professional level of cricket through grassroots programmes, engaging and inspiring the youth, providing safe and dynamic sporting entertainment — whilst being committed to preserving Bermuda’s unique culture.”
In the intro of the plan, BCB President Arnold Manders said, “Given Bermuda’s history and significant accomplishments over the years, one could imagine the challenge of charting a course for the next few years. But as we thought strategically these past eight months, our calling became clear.
“The Bermuda Cricket Board has set out its vision to become one of the elite associate teams once again. That ambition is the fundamental part of this strategy. But what does this mean in practical terms?
“It is not solely around being one of the top associate countries once again, but rather a broader definition of what it will take to remain in that tier. This means balancing all of those elements that have been essential to making Bermuda Cricket exceptional while anticipating those that the future will demand in order to sustain that level of excellence and achieving even greater heights.
“In this strategic plan, we commit our energies to four core strategic pillars that will underpin our plans for the next 5 years:
- 1. Growing the game sustainably strengthening the grassroots game through our clubs, schools, and volunteer base
- 2. Producing winning teams by delivering high-performance programs that ensure we consistently win
- 3. Infrastructure, by investing in infrastructure development to ensure that our clubs, accredited grounds, and national teams training facilities are in accordance with BCB/ICC standards
- 4. Finance, by building stronger revenue streams and commercial partnerships to underpin our strategy and deliver a financially sustainable game for future generations
“These pillars will ensure that Bermuda cricket will continue to achieve its ultimate goal in returning to the top tier of Associate Cricket but we are under no illusions that our efforts will be without challenge; thus, our planning document is a flexible one, allowing us to be responsive to those challenges while still adhering to the plan’s goals.
“We approach this work knowing that our success depends upon gathering old and new partners alike who wish to imagine our future. This plan presents the pathway forward. We hope that you will join us.”
