MCC Community Cricket Heroes Campaign launched for 2026
The MCC and The Cricketer have launched their Community Cricket Heroes campaign for 2026 to find another team of unsung grassroots cricketing heroes from across the country – including Shropshire.
As first international Test match of the summer gets underway at Lord’s, the MCC will mark Volunteers’ Week by taking it back to where it all began for many, in the local communities around the country and recognising the people that make these clubs tick.
In the past three years, 33 heroes of grassroots cricket have been welcomed to Lord’s as guests of the MCC President to watch a game from some of the best seats in the house.
A panel selected by MCC will have the task of selecting those who have made an outstanding contribution to their clubs and/or communities.
This year’s winners will once again be invited to Lord’s, where they will be celebrated for their time and effort given to their own clubs.
MCC President Ed Smith commented: “Year four of our MCC Community Cricket Heroes campaign has started, and once again we are asking the cricket community to help us find its unsung champions.
“Whether it’s a coach transforming lives in a state school, a volunteer who has kept a club together through the toughest of times, or someone growing the women and girl’s game from the ground up, we want to hear their story.
“Nominations are open now. Please don’t let your hero go unrecognised.”
The closing date for nominations is 23.59 BST on 15 July 2026 with the selected MCC Community Cricket Heroes announced shortly after.
To nominate your hero please visit www.lords.org/heroes
