- Governing body can take worst-case £252m hit this summer
- ECB reveals record £228m turnover for 2019-20 financial year
The England and Wales Cricket Board has insisted it has sufficient resources to survive the financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic – even in a worst‑case scenario where it could lose £252m if no cricket is played this summer.
On a day when Ian Watmore was unanimously ratified as the ECB’s new chair from September, English cricket’s governing body also revealed a record £228m turnover for the 2019‑20 financial year due to the success of last year’s Ashes series and the Cricket World Cup.
