Getting involved in the cricket community has shown me how sport builds confidence, connection, and inclusivity—on and off the pitch.

The ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 is lighting up India and Sri Lanka, uniting nations and fans through incredible talent, fierce rivalries and unforgettable moments. With eight teams, 31 matches and endless drama, this year’s tournament is already rewriting the story of women’s cricket.

The Own-The-Over (OTO) Awards were more than a ceremony – they were a celebration of the people who make women’s cricket thrive. Hosted by WH Cricket and supported by TMA, the evening brought together players, coaches, clubs, and volunteers from across the UK.

The Own-The-Over Awards celebrate the incredible players, coaches, clubs, and volunteers driving women’s cricket forward. From rising stars to dedicated leaders, this year’s winners and nominees showcase the passion, talent, and community spirit keeping the game inclusive and thriving.

When a girl sees a woman coaching, she learns that sport has space for her beyond playing.

Women in coaching and management face barriers such as stereotypes, biased media, and constant scrutiny, but their presence is powerful. They normalise female leadership, inspire the next generation, and strengthen grassroots sport through inclusive, collaborative approaches.

The Own the Over Awards are coming up fast - so make sure to get your nominations in. Discussing who is involved, who is on the panel 

Last weekend’s Family Fun Day at Leicestershire brought together cricket, community and sunshine in perfect style. Fans enjoyed Essex’s win over the Foxes in the Metro Bank One Day Cup, while off the pitch families got involved with table cricket, face painting, author signings and more. With Her Game Too sparking important conversations about inclusivity in cricket, the day was a true celebration of sport, fun and belonging.

Another summer of women’s cricket is coming to a close, from record-breaking wins to grassroots moments. As the season shifts indoors and the OTO Awards approach, it’s time to celebrate everyone who makes the game thrive all year round.

Who is Maiden Cricket, and why is it so important for girls playing cricket to wear a kit suited to their bodies - rather than a unisex kit? 

Cricket returns to The Olympics after a 128 year hiatus, the last time the Olympics featured was in 1900 Paris. Cricket being a part of the programme could be the spark that transforms cricket in America from a niche sport into a mainstream movement.
