The 2023 winners of the Yorkshire Cricket Board, Cricket Collective awards have now been selected and we are pleased to announce the list of winners below.
The Cricket Collective awards are organised by the Yorkshire Cricket Board in partnership with the County Club and Foundation. The awards recognise some of the volunteers who contribute to the grassroots game in Yorkshire. Certain categories are also eligible for national recognition by the ECB and are selected from county winners.
All the winners and nominees are invited to attend the awards event at Headingly in November. The event is to celebrate the amazing work that is undertaken by our huge volunteer network across all Yorkshire recreational cricket.
Here is the full list of winners. Well done to everyone who was nominated.
