Rejected petition Stop the ECB from taking cricket away from the counties

County Cricket Clubs are set to be pushed into extinction by the ECB, if plans to create new city teams are allowed to go ahead this summer.

They want to take control of the county clubs and run the game centrally, putting them at financial risk.

All without the input of county members.
