Cricket Scotland Survey (closes 23rd Nov)
The 2025 Cricket Scotland survey is underway and seeks your views as a player, parent, participant or supporter. So do put in your penny's work from the provinces. The survey is open until Sunday 23 November.

If you want to have your say, and help shape the future of Scottish cricket, you need to be registered with the Scottish Cricket Registration system (SCRS) to take part. You can register on SCRS here.

The survey is then accessible via SCRS, via the Events and Courses tab. More details can be found HERE.

It should take around half an hour. If you have some specific feedback to make there is space for that with a question at the end of the survey. If you don't know enough for a view about a survey question, e.g. as a parent, then pick that option and move on (there are ninety questions). Your overall opinion is still valuable.
