Thank you to everyone who attended the @Metro_Bank Leading the Future of Women’s Cricket conference this weekend. In partnership with @Metro_Bank and the Girls in Cricket Fund, we are aiming to triple the number of girls’ cricket teams across England and Wales. We also want to use the power of this year's home ICC Women's T20 World Cup to attract more players, leaders and volunteers to women’s and girls’ cricket. Let’s work together to deliver a summer of cricket that turns a moment into a movement, breaking women's cricket into the mainstream, and keeping it there! 🚀 @SaraDaviesCC, @AceProgramme, @LeshiaHawkEye
