Members of a cricket club said they were excited about plans for an indoor cricket dome in their town but wanted to be sure they would be given access to it.
The government announced last month that it was spending £1.5m on domes in Luton and Lancashire to “grow the game in areas of need and boost women and girls’ cricket ahead of 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup”.
Sports minister Stephanie Peacock visited the Luton Women’s and Girls’ Cricket Club (LWGCC) on Monday to talk to its players about the plans.
One cricketer said she hoped access to the dome would be available at times that were suitable to the needs of women from different communities.
