Rejected

What the petition asks
The confidence in the governance of cricket by the ECB is at its lowest ebb. Cricket is hidden away on subscription television, participation levels amongst children is declining and the game is in danger of becoming an irrelevance
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
In any case, we can't accept your petition because it's not clear what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take. Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
