The ECB have launched a new website designed to be the first point of reference for cricket club volunteers to find practical guidance on maintaining and developing their ground.

The Essential Guide to Cricket Groundsmanship uses easy to follow text, images and videos to guide volunteer groundsmen through the operations undertaken on a cricket ground and the equipment and materials used.

The ECB say, "Whether you are swatting up at your desktop or on the go with a smart phone or tablet, this resource is here to help every step of the way as you look to produce high quality pitch and ground performance at your club."
