The aim of Cage 4 All is to overcome social, economic, geographic and cultural
barriers and provide learning and personal development for young people by giving them the
time and space to play sport and mix with others in a positive environment.



As the new Chairman, Colin will be bringing his passion for cricket, desire to help
young people succeed, networking skills and his celebrity contacts book to recruit players
from. Colin has already introduced Cage 4 All to fellow cast members of 24: Live Another
Day, The Musketeers and No Offence. Benedict Cumberbatch, for one, is very excited to be
part of the movement and will get involved in a Celebrity Cage 4 All Challenge, which is
coming soon!



Colin says "I have been a long-time supporter of Cage Cricket and am proud to become
Chairman of Cage 4 All. I look forward to Cage 4 All gaining national and global support
and funding to bring this exciting game to everyone who wants to play, get involved and to
make a real difference through sport.



"I have taken the role of chairman as Cage 4 All to promote social inclusion. As a
Cricket Ambassador for The Prince's Trust, I have been involved in getting young people
engaged in cricket for many years. We are working with a range of people, including some
of the best people within disability sports, within the prison service and those working
with underprivileged kids.



"I spent a lot of time on the streets as a kid, got excluded from school, into all
sorts of trouble. Through the work of good people, community care and the right
opportunities, I have been lucky enough to build a successful career. I really believe
that through Cage 4 All children will get more opportunities to grow as people and learn
important lessons. One of the most fascinating things about Cage Cricket is that everybody
gets a chance to be umpire, to be responsible for the game and the scoring. When you have
power, how do you use it?



"What many kids lack is the time, space and money to play cricket. They can't afford
the kits, and if you're not very good at first, you may not get that second chance. You
walk out into the middle and get bowled out first ball, then you walk straight back off.
That's not giving everybody a chance to develop the technical and personal skills that
cricket can provide. In Cage Cricket, everybody gets to play an equal amount of time in
every position. As a young kid said to me when I was playing in Salford, "It's a really
fair game." That is the whole point of Cage 4 All - to give everyone a fair chance."
