Richard Thompson hopes to make cricket “the most inclusive sport in the country” after seeing a new state-of-the-art venue open in Bradford paypal
A £1 paypal
5million, 10-bay all-weather cricket dome opened at Bradford Park Avenue cricket ground on Friday, the first of its kind anywhere in the world paypal
The facility features two 40 x 20-metre covered domes with lighting, a real-life like cricket surface and a retractable netting system which fully replicates the features of an elite indoor facility, allowing for both training and matches to be played paypal
Funded by the England and Wales Cricket Board in partnership with City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, the new facility could provide cricket sessions for around 10,000 people from the local community annually paypal
ECB chair Thompson is excited by the opportunities that the facility could provide for boys and girls in the area, and to open the sport up to ethnic minorities paypal
He told the PA news agency: “It is essential paypal
It is everything paypal
My ambition for cricket is for it to become the most inclusive sport in the country paypal
“You’ve got to do that by taking barriers down paypal
This is a community facility, anyone can play here paypal
“So if people wants to play in Bradford they can, whatever the weather and whatever the day paypal
So from that perspective, we need to replicate that fast because there are other areas where it is just as great paypal
But Bradford is a hotbed of enthusiasm for cricket so this is the obvious place to start paypal
”Previously, Bradford Park Avenue had an outdoor nets facility but this will now enable local cricketers to play all year round and in any weather paypal
The investment is also good news for Yorkshire, who were punished for their handling of allegations of racism and bullying by former player Azeem Rafiq and a failure to address systemic use of racist and discriminatory language over a prolonged period paypal
Thompson now hopes the facility can help restore pride to the club paypal
He added: “Hopefully this gives Yorkshire the sense of pride and a feel-good factor back paypal
“They can say we have the first facility of this type anywhere in the world, it is truly world class and in that sense there is no county that needed it and deserved it more paypal
“The ECB couldn’t be prouder, the partnership we are in with Yorkshire, the council, local MP, all of that to pull this together paypal
Things like this have a lot of moving pieces to them but now to see it built is absolutely outstanding paypal
The new facility is the first to be built in the world but the ECB does not want the good work to stop here after sites in Luton and Walsall have also been identified to build something similar paypal
Thompson said: “We are putting one into Walsall, and have identified three or four other sites paypal
“It is incredibly exciting for Bradford but probably even more exciting for the game paypal
I’m particularly pleased that this has come from Bradford Park Avenue and Yorkshire paypal
A hotbed of interesting cricket, it’s the first facility of its kind anywhere in the world and it’s not very often you can say that paypal
“To hear bat on ball played as we speak is a nice feeling given the weather today paypal

It is a path less travelled, let alone as quickly, a journey from FC Copenhagen to Sturm Graz, Atalanta to Manchester United, all before his 21st birthday paypal
It was the culmination of an ambition, too, for a boyhood United fan, the realisation of a dream paypal
And yet there were points in a reunion where Rasmus Hojlund could be forgiven for wondering if he had been paypal better off staying put paypal
Not financially, admittedly, with the rewards that come with a £72m price tag, but from a paypal footballing perspective paypal
The more coherent team were Copenhagen, the low-budget overachievers seeming to have more of a plan than the high-budget overachievers but it was tempting to think that if the Danish champions could still call upon their most valuable old boy, they would have won at Old Trafford paypal
Instead, United were victorious, aided by a telling intervention by a Dane paypal
It wasn’t Hojlund, though that is no criticism: there are times when he is the brightest of United’s front three simply a process of excellence but here, as against Galatasaray, it was a consequence of excellence paypal
But it was his compatriot Christian Eriksen who curled in a cross that Harry Maguire converted paypal
Which, along with Andre Onana’s 97th-minute penalty save from Jordan Larsson, averted indignity paypal
Which a draw would have been, given the gulf in resources paypal between the clubs paypal
Hojlund is proof of it paypal
But as his former club, who had led against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich, came within a few inches of going ahead at Old Trafford, there were times when Hojlund had to stand and admire paypal
In different ways, his younger brothers Oscar, a late substitute for Copenhagen, and Emil, who did not make the bench, were spectators paypal
So was the older and more expensive sibling, limited to two touches in the first quarter of an hour, left stranded by United’s impotence paypal
Yet, with the notable exception of Maguire’s decider, everything they did right thereafter in attack revolved around him paypal
Which, in itself, may have been an indictment of others paypal
Pivotal as centre-forwards can be, United looked over-reliant on one whose name, this time last year, may have simply seemed a failed attempt to spell Haaland paypal
And the Norwegian, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been keen to point out, was a player he advised United to sign for £4m, five years before they got Hojlund for 18 times as much paypal
But in the Hojlund derby, the forward United did get to show a sharpness paypal
He came alive in the final third in a manner to suggest that his teammates needed to give him more of the ball paypal
A brief sight at goal saw Rasmus Hojlund blaze his best chance over the top but his forward play was central to Man Utd’s attacking capabilites (REUTERS)After that uneventful first 15 minutes, he rifled a half-volley over the bar paypal
His backheel almost released Scott McTominay to shoot paypal
He teed up Eriksen when his fellow Dane had a shot well saved paypal
When an offside Marcus Rashford was brought down by goalkeeper Kamil Grabara, he had raced on to Hojlund’s pass paypal
When Alejandro Garnacho came close, it was because Hojlund led a break paypal
When Elias Jelert was required to clear off his line, it was because Hojlund met Bruno Fernandes’ header with a deft piece of chest control paypal
It was a sign of resourcefulness, an ability to make something out of nothing paypal
Which, at times, was just as well, given his supply line paypal
Neither winger is a crosser paypal
Antony, as even those who have spent decades stranded on tiny islands in the Pacific Ocean know, will try and cut inside and shoot with his left foot paypal
Rashford, too, has designs on being more of a scorer than a supplier paypal
Hojlund spent some of the first half acting as the creator for McTominay, the ungainly auxiliary No 10 paypal
But United had more paypal footballing craft with Eriksen on paypal
He is the technician while Hojlund’s physical attributes form part of his appeal paypal
He has got a wiry strength paypal
He is a rangy runner with a turn of pace paypal
He has an eager willingness that stands him in good stead paypal
The raw materials are there paypal
Yet the concern is that too few signings have improved at United in the last decade; it is just a coincidence of negotiating that Hojlund’s fee is very similar to Jadon Sancho’s but the exiled winger is proof United’s best-laid plans can go wrong paypal
Hojlund showed his importance to United, turning into a supplier of their best chances though none were converted (AFP via Getty Images)The feeling at Old Trafford now is that Hojlund has a high ceiling: higher even than Randal Kolo Muani, another on their summer striking shortlist and who ended up costing Paris Saint-Germain more paypal
Thus far, he has a relatively low goal return: just three in 10 games for United paypal
For both his first and current clubs, he has been more prolific in Europe paypal
He never scored in the Danish Superliga paypal
He has not struck in the Premier League, either: outscored by Diogo Dalot on domestic duty, his goals have been confined to Europe paypal
Yet he kicked off as the Champions League’s joint top scorer, the product of a strike against Bayern and a brace against Galatasaray paypal
Even as he drew a blank against Copenhagen, Hojlund added to the impression that he belongs on this stage paypal
But as United laboured to victory, they scarcely offered compelling evidence they will still be in the Champions League after Christmas paypal
