What does this mean?

What will the Premier League's "own inclusion campaign to coincide with LGBTQ+ History Month" look like? What will its focus be? What is expected of clubs? Will they be obliged to participate in the initiative? Will players/clubs be allowed to opt in to support Rainbow Laces?

We need one more team to take part in this event.

Each team will play three short games during the day.

We have a mixed-gender, entry-level, pro-disability softball team... but unfortunately we also have several weeks without fixtures.

Are there any teams in the North-West who would like to play us in a friendly game? We're happy to travel.

We urgently need new players.

If you'd like to play cricket for us, or even just try out the game for the first time, all you need to do is show up for training at Wavertree Cricket Club on a Wednesday at 8pm.

All ages and abilities welcome.

Some of the news coverage and the social media responses to
Richmond CC's 4th team being all out for just 2 is quite depressing.

Happy 89th birthday to our club chair and hardball team vice-captain, Joe Crossley.

Surely he is the oldest person playing regular club cricket in the UK?

Joe has been an outstanding advocate for inclusive cricket for several decades and we hope he isn't thinking of retiring just yet.
