England and Wales Transplant Cricket Club

The England and Wales Transplant Cricket Club is a representative side of cricketers who have received lifesaving and life changing transplants.

Our club is open to all transplant recipients, living donors, donor family members, those awaiting transplant and dialysis patients (over the age of 16).

Our players have received all forms of transplants including Kidney, Liver, Lung, Heart, Stem Cell, Cornea, and Bowel.

All of our players are celebrating their ‘second innings’ thanks to the generosity of their donors, be they family, friends or strangers who offered a new chance of life.

Originally known as the Great Britain Transplant Cricket Club, the club was established in 2004 following a challenge set by the Australians at the World Transplant Games.

The club was rebranded as England and Wales Transplant Cricket in 2018, the club has been running since 2004 with 71 capped players during this period.

We aim to provide an opportunity for transplant recipients to play cricket in a team environment and have created a community feel for our players and families alike which provides invaluable support on their transplant journeys.

Together we aim to promote the importance of donation and demonstrate the transformative effect it can have, not just for the recipient but also for those around them.

It is extremely important to us all to celebrate our donors and give thanks for their ultimate gift, as without them we wouldn’t he here today.

We are all fortunate to be here today and we hope to ensure others in the future can be as fortune as ourselves.

We hold games across the country during the cricket season, fixtures are both hosted by our players at their Saturday / Sunday club grounds or we invited to play at clubs to help spread the message of organ donation.

We also hold an indoor net session in Winter and one in Spring at Edgbaston.

We have an upcoming indoor net session at Edgbaston in November which is the perfect opportunity to learn more about our club, meet the players and get involved.
