Entries welcomed for six awards celebrating the best of grassroots cricket
The Cricketer is delighted to announce the launch of the Toyota Good For Cricket Awards 2025.
The awards celebrate the best of grassroots cricket across the United Kingdom, honouring the people who champion their cricket clubs and the communities around them.
Featuring a wide variety of categories including Club Hero, Community Hero, Fundraising Hero, Media Hero and Young Hero, as well as the coveted Good For Cricket Award, they have fast become an important annual fixture in the grassroots cricket scene.
The awards form part of Toyota's significant commitment to supporting grassroots cricket, which also includes its Good For Cricket Prize Draw, and comes after the car manufacturer was appointed as the new Principal Partner to the England and Wales Cricket Board, as well as Official Partner to both Cricket Scotland and Cricket Ireland.
Stuart Sanders, executive director of Toyota GB, said: "We are hugely passionate about supporting grassroots cricket and championing the people that make it all happen.
"Working with The Cricketer is the perfect way to highlight these inspiring individuals and stories, and to raise awareness of the Toyota Good For Cricket Prize Draw which is raising funds for the local clubs that are vital to the game."
The awards, previously known as the Pride of Cricket Awards, were launched by The Cricketer, the world's oldest cricket magazine, during the pandemic to celebrate the people who kept club cricket going through its most challenging times.
Jim Hindson, managing director of The Cricketer, said: "We are delighted to welcome Toyota on board as headline sponsor for these awards.
"This partnership is a great fit that combines Toyota’s passion for increasing grassroots participation with awards that recognise the vital work of volunteers at this level. We can’t wait to hear the inspiring stories that come from the entries we receive.
"We look forward to working with Toyota throughout what is a huge summer for cricket in this country."
