This centre has boosted cricketing opportunities in Devon for young cricketers, adults, talented players, clubs and Devon’s teams as well as the University’s cricket programme.
The England and Wales Cricket Board provided £1.6 million funding from the Club Community Development Programme, which was made up of Exchequer funding and managed by Sport England. £250,000 was generously donated by Sir Christopher Ondaatje, and the Centre is named in his honour. Further grants were offered by the Devon Cricket Board, MCC, Lords Taverners, Devon County Cricket Club, the Tony Coles Trust.
