We’ll send a bi-annual newsletter, quarterly emails and regular text message alerts keeping you up to date with our great game and all the PCA is doing. The enclosed newsletter will give you a flavour of exactly how far we have come. Naturally, we’ve had to focus on our members currently playing, but there are a number of things we do that could benefit you.We already spend the vast proportion of our resources on our key areas: lobbying on cricket issues, providing insurance (temporary and permanent disablement and travel), financial advice and assistance, legal advice and representation, education programs for life after cricket, benevolent charity funding and a thriving community program, particularly in the inner cities encouraging youth into our game. With all this going on and the exponentially increasing cost of insurance, we constantly need to generate new revenue streams. There is so much more we’d like to do and we need your help to achieve our aims. With this in mind, we’ve put together the enclosed list of benefits for you as an Associate Member to help to embrace past players back into the Association and to fulfil our primary objective – “to protect the rights of professional cricketers both past and present”. I trust there is something for everyone in what we have put together and we hope you’d like to get involved. All you have to do is respond as requested on the sheet. I’ve also enclosed a contact list for all of us here at the PCA so that, if you have any comments or queries, you can contact any of us and we’ll do our best to help.

Unexpected tragedy occasionally strikes, as in the case of Malcolm Marshall, the great West Indian fast bowler, who in November 1999 died of cancer. As a result of events arranged by the PCA, we were able to help Malcolm’s young family to come to terms with their loss. Nor does the PCA’s role end here. There are many worthy and often very needy cases among cricketers and their dependents who played in the era before the PCA came into being. These are the concerns of the soon to be renamed Professional Cricketers’ Association Charity founded by Harold Goldblatt FCA, who for many years has been heavily involved in the activities of the PCA. As Harold quite rightly states: “Protecting those who, through no fault of their own, had fallen on hard times led to the creation of the Charity”. In 1983, Harold approached the ECB with a proposal on how the Charity would be funded. At that current time players were being fined for slow over rates. The then Test and County Cricket Board and the PCA agreed that these monies should be lodged in a charitable trust, its object would be to financially aid former players and their families in times of hardship. The newly named Professional Cricketers’ Association Charity is run by a board of Trustees and chaired by David Graveney. The Trustees work tirelessly to visit the beneficiaries of the Charity to ensure they are in good health. At present we assist over 30 cases but our funds only allow us to make contributions at Christmas and during the summer holidays. It is stating the obvious that with more funds we would be able to make a more meaningful contribution.Whilst the Charity continues to provide invaluable support, it has been imperative that assistance should be given to players who have only recently left the game. The Officers of the PCA recognise the need to help players forced out of the game through non-insurable injuries with the medical assistance they require and assisting players in carving out new careers. In 1999, Eddie Barlow, the former South African international suffered a stroke that ended his term as Bangladesh’s national coach. Consequently, Eddie has endured severe financial hardship that forced him to leave his homeland. Yet, following PCA organised events, we were able to provide Eddie with a motorised chair that enable him to become more mobile and coach again at nets. As with the Charity, the PCA’s Benevolent, Community & Education Fund can only distribute its existing funds. Currently, the PCA stages a number of fund raising events during the year that are of great assistance to the PCA Benevolent, Community & Education Fund. However, it has become clear that the Fund could reach out to assist many more players. It is our belief within the PCA that the game of cricket should be more proactive to those who choose this great game as a career.We believe that far greater resources than currently held by both the Charity and the Benevolent, Community & Education Fund should be allocated to provide far more meaningful support to our members. I regard my appointment as Chairman of both bodies to be a great honour. I see it as my goal for the future to lobby the many organisations who are attached to the game of cricket, to inform them of the work that has already been done; also to alert them to the need to provide greater finance so that those cricketers who bring such enjoyment to the cricketing public should be properly cared for after their playing careers are over. However, functions such as this evening are crucial to raising necessary funds and I sincerely hope you’ll be able to give as generously as possible. Few vocations carry so much uncertainty as that of a professional cricketer. To play any sport for a living requires a preoccupation with matters of daily immediacy, which leaves precious little time to consider and plan for possible disasters or upheavals in the future.

The programme is a 12-week selfdevelopment programme, and targets young people from the age of 16-25, who are the hardest to reach in society.We are delighted that our relationship with the Prince’s Trust through NatWest Cricket has enabled us to assist in helping young people get their lives back on track again. 2004 has enabled us to expand the initiative, having being pioneered initially by Surrey in 2002. The aim is to link the Prince’s Trust teams to their local county cricket clubs, where the young people can receive coaching and motivational talks from players, chats on health and nutrition from physios, and get the opportunity to be in a professional sporting environment. From its launch in May 2003, our initial target was to deliver 15 cricket linked teams with 8 first class counties up to April 2004. We exceeded the initial target and delivered 17 team starts with 11 counties! The initiative has continued to go from strength to strength in 2004 with 14 county clubs now being involved with NatWest Cricket, and an anticipating 20 team starts by December this year. Cricketers have embraced the bigger social picture and we have been delighted with the involvement of past and present players such as Ian Salisbury, Steve Rhodes, Nadeem Shahid, Alex Tudor, Mushtaq Mohammed to name a few. Having role models available to engage with the ‘Team’ has provided an invaluable aid in their personal development. A big thank you goes to all the players that have given up their time to help the young people. The support of the counties has continued to grow and we would also like to thank the Chief Executives and county staffs for their positive involvement in the NatWest Cricket initiative in its first 18 months. Both the Prince’s Trust and NatWest are great investors in young people, and this has been epitomised through this initiative.We at the PCA are delighted that we can play an important part in the success of this. We are very proud of our role in providing the Prince’s Trust with the link with the counties, and we will continue to work with our members to ensure a high level of involvement from them. 3 past players WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
