THE Oxfordshire Cricket Board are to introduce disability cricket as part of their four-year plan.

In his report to the annual meeting, OCB chairman Chris Clements said: “We are all excited about this plan.”

Clements said that increased sponsorship had helped the Board to run programmes that had previous been at risk.

He also welcomed another full-time member of staff in Oxfordshire captain Luke Ryan, who takes over as business development and operations manager in the New Year.

Clements said: “Our cash position is strong, as is our balance sheet. We have a new full-time member in our workforce, an exciting plan and a partnership with a highly-respected first-class county (Sussex).
