Joint statement from Middlesex Junior Cricket Association and Middlesex Cricket
Issued 20th March 2020
These are extraordinary and exceptionally testing times for the Middlesex Cricket, MJCA and our passionate young cricketers; the inability to take part in cricket is of course extremely disappointing and frustrating but given the circumstances we totally accept it is right to suspend all cricketing activity.
At this stage, in such a fast moving situation, it is impossible to say with any certainty what this will mean for the forthcoming season; we are in unchartered waters – however, we are determined to maximise the amount of cricket (including the option of a rescheduled competitive programme) we can provide for our young people this summer but only when it is safe to do so. Once the all clear is given we hope it will still be summer and people will be looking for outdoor activities and we will again have the opportunity to promote our wonderful game and its ability to bring people back together again.
We will keep you informed of any further developments, including announcements from the ECB, Middlesex Cricket and the Middlesex Junior Cricket Association once we have them.
