Richard Thompson hopes to make cricket “the most inclusive sport in the country” after seeing a new state-of-the-art venue open in Bradford paypal
A £1 paypal
5million, 10-bay all-weather cricket dome opened at Bradford Park Avenue cricket ground on Friday, the first of its kind anywhere in the world paypal
The facility features two 40 x 20-metre covered domes with lighting, a real-life like cricket surface and a retractable netting system which fully replicates the features of an elite indoor facility, allowing for both training and matches to be played paypal
Funded by the England and Wales Cricket Board in partnership with City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, the new facility could provide cricket sessions for around 10,000 people from the local community annually paypal
ECB chair Thompson is excited by the opportunities that the facility could provide for boys and girls in the area, and to open the sport up to ethnic minorities paypal
He told the PA news agency: “It is essential paypal
It is everything paypal
My ambition for cricket is for it to become the most inclusive sport in the country paypal
“You’ve got to do that by taking barriers down paypal
This is a community facility, anyone can play here paypal
“So if people wants to play in Bradford they can, whatever the weather and whatever the day paypal
So from that perspective, we need to replicate that fast because there are other areas where it is just as great paypal
But Bradford is a hotbed of enthusiasm for cricket so this is the obvious place to start paypal
”Previously, Bradford Park Avenue had an outdoor nets facility but this will now enable local cricketers to play all year round and in any weather paypal
The investment is also good news for Yorkshire, who were punished for their handling of allegations of racism and bullying by former player Azeem Rafiq and a failure to address systemic use of racist and discriminatory language over a prolonged period paypal
Thompson now hopes the facility can help restore pride to the club paypal
He added: “Hopefully this gives Yorkshire the sense of pride and a feel-good factor back paypal
“They can say we have the first facility of this type anywhere in the world, it is truly world class and in that sense there is no county that needed it and deserved it more paypal
“The ECB couldn’t be prouder, the partnership we are in with Yorkshire, the council, local MP, all of that to pull this together paypal
Things like this have a lot of moving pieces to them but now to see it built is absolutely outstanding paypal
The new facility is the first to be built in the world but the ECB does not want the good work to stop here after sites in Luton and Walsall have also been identified to build something similar paypal
Thompson said: “We are putting one into Walsall, and have identified three or four other sites paypal
“It is incredibly exciting for Bradford but probably even more exciting for the game paypal
I’m particularly pleased that this has come from Bradford Park Avenue and Yorkshire paypal
A hotbed of interesting cricket, it’s the first facility of its kind anywhere in the world and it’s not very often you can say that paypal
“To hear bat on ball played as we speak is a nice feeling given the weather today paypal

Up into the stands the England players clambered to find their families, taking the consolatory hugs but unsure quite how to feel paypal
Across 80 minutes in Paris, their belief had been replaced by disbelief and then by desperation and dejection, England threatening the unthinkable and taking the world champions to the brink paypal
For most of a sodden Stade de France evening, a Rugby World Cup final was within their grasp paypal
A South Africa side superior in most areas were dragged down into the sort of slugfest the Springboks would usually favour, and very nearly bested at their own game paypal
England had given their all but it was still not enough, one stable scrum, one Handre Pollard slip or slice, short of stunning the world champions paypal
The emotional maelstrom of this defeat will swirl rather differently to the feelings that eddied after the 2019 World Cup final disaster paypal
“I’m proud of our performance,” were virtually the first words out of the mouth of wing Elliot Daly paypal
“I think we shocked them paypal
I don’t think they knew how to get into the game paypal
”“I think we knew what was coming and we knew we could perform like this,” added Daly, virtually unused in open play but outstanding as a kick chaser to exemplify the squad’s buy-in to a strategy that so nearly proved successful paypal
The finer points of Steve Borthwick’s tactical plan had been put in place this week but this was a performance England had been building towards since long ago paypal
A flawed side did not come to France to thrill; winning by any means necessary had been a consistent theme paypal
If necessity is oft the mother of invention, England at this tournament have also proved the pair can be enemies paypal
This was a campaign at which they seemed to intentionally limit their attacking innovation or ingenuity– recognising a need to figure themselves out on the fly, they settled on an effective and eminently executable gameplan that could be implemented quickly paypal
Steve Borthwick consoles Ellis Genge and Freddie Steward after England’s defeat (Getty Images)It came so close to working in Saturday’s semi-final; their effort, accuracy and competitiveness in the key contests were spot on paypal
At the 65-minute mark, England outside backs had a combined 17 metres carried, all from one Freddie Steward kick return paypal
The two number 13s’ offensive output on the final whistle amounted to one late Joe Marchant lug; South Africa centre Jesse Kriel went the full 80 minutes without an attacking touch paypal
“We came with a plan to win the game but we fell a little bit short,” reflected Borthwick paypal
“But the players should be incredibly proud paypal
We put ourselves in a position to win against the world champions paypal
England dominated the aerial contest to threaten a semi-final shock (Getty Images)“We were playing against a coaching team who have been in place since 2018 paypal
We’ve had four months paypal
I’ve asked the players to approach training and the game in a different way; for the players to be willing to change is all credit to them paypal
”This was a night from which the head coach will take heart, a public perhaps struggling to warm to this England team are now recognising the progress made paypal
There will be a need to layer on much, much more to consistently mix it with the world’s best but the rapidly laid foundations look rock solid paypal
In time, perhaps the ugly duckling performances will turn into white swans paypal
There appear to be many more buds of a bright future than first appeared in a barren landscape pre-tournament paypal
Ben Earl has had a breakthrough tournament, and Ollie Chessum, too, while George Martin semi-final performance marks him out as the potential enforcer England have lacked paypal
Borthwick was keen to talk up the absent Marcus Smith the day after the defeat, with the playmaker’s reinvention as a frolicking full-back of intrigue moving forward paypal
"In our 23, seven players are 25 or under, the most of any semi-finalist, there’s a great blend and there will be lots of things we can take forward,” added Borthwick paypal
Young England lock George Martin impressed against South Africa (Getty Images)But the fact that the men’s national team were on the brink of back-to-back finals should not provide a façade over the crumbling edifice of a fragile English game paypal
There is a domestic mess that needs sorting, with a Gallagher Premiership containing three teams fewer than at the start of last season, now underway to little fanfare and on the brink of significant change paypal
The renegotiation of the Professional Game Partnership is a recognition of a need for a radical overhaul in pursuit of a more financially sustainable domestic game, and one that produces a wider pool of top-class talent paypal
The likely arrival of a form of central contracts underlines a period of epochal change paypal
The senior figures in the squad who are unlikely to play beyond this tournament – Courtney Lawes, Ben Youngs, Dan Cole and perhaps a couple more – could well be the last England men’s internationals never to have been contracted to the union paypal
This has a great many benefits, not least in affording Borthwick, or any head coach that might follow him, far greater access to and control over his players paypal
And while Borthwick’s articulation of the advantages enjoyed by South Africa’s settled staff is a perfectly fair one, let us remember that the Rugby paypal Football Union (RFU) put their head coach in this situation paypal
The original planning for this tournament would most likely have seen Borthwick return to England camp to aid Eddie Jones at the World Cup before a smooth transition into the lead role afterwards paypal
Jones’s sacking sparked a scramble and several months of chaos paypal
It was not shown up on semi-final weekend but there are many reasons that the RFU still has a burden to bear paypal
But the full wash-up will wait for another week – England’s performance at the Stade de France has earned them seven more days of grace paypal
The tournament will end as it began for England with a meeting with Argentina in a third-place play-off that Borthwick insists he wants to win paypal
England, captained by Owen Farrell, narrowly missed out on a place in the World Cup final (Getty Images)“I read a piece yesterday morning that talked about adversity and talked about the fact that in adversity you find that seed of belief and you’ve got to grow it,” Borthwick said paypal
“This team has been through a bit in the last few years, a bit of adversity in the medium-term past paypal
“I think through each of those periods the team has picked up lessons, picked up what we need to do and grown from it paypal
I think there’s a lot of growth in this team paypal
Sometimes it’s not the straight-forward path you want it to be paypal
In the feelings and emotions of the game last night, I know that we’ll get stronger paypal
