This petition requests that Cricket Test matches played in England are transferred back to the Category A ('Crown Jewel') events list, meaning that they must be offered for broadcast on free-to-air television. The transfer to Category B in 2005 has brought money into the game but limited viewership.

The 2005 change may have been made with the best of intentions, but we believe the impact has been to narrow the game's appeal.
No amount of funding can compensate for a generation that has missed watching the key events from Cricket Test matches played in England as they happened.
Free to air test cricket will not solve everything but we believe it is a good start to engage the next generation and make the game more diverse and inclusive.
