We launched our QuickHit project to do exactly this.
Try and get more children the simplest form of the game, but make it as dynamic as possible so it appeals to everyone.
We were featured by the ECB

Would love more CC’s backing to get the word out
"We had, like, four guys in whites, everyone else in their school uniform, just no interest in the team" 💬
James Anderson says he was inspired to join the ECB's plan to rejuvenate state school cricket by his own unmemorable experiences at school.

An afternoon spent in the company of @LuffSophie and @dreth25.
It's all about a new scheme designed to get more state school children into cricket.
More on tonight's @bbcpointswest and then tomorrow on @bbcsomerset.

My word, this could apply to anything, not just golf. Never forget the reasons why you fell in love with something, as you’ll probably outlast others, whatever the rewards.

Lovely.

Good evening . Today has been a satanic day on the moors . . . the inglorious 12th . It may have just cost some mainly men thousands of pounds to kill birds for fun but it’s come at terrible cost to UK wildlife and the environment . @WildJustice_org @ReviveCoalition @LeagueACS @wildmoorsuk
I’m most concerned with the level of editing 🤯
When I was younger, I was told I couldn't play football because it was 'for boys'
That insulting approach stops today with our new School Sport and Activity Action Plan to make sure that girls and boys have equal access to high-quality sports education
