Social cricket venue Sixes is offering women the chance to play cricket for free every Friday after they teamed up with an England and Wales Cricket Board initiative to shine light on the women’s game.
England’s Lionesses inspired a nation when they ended 56 years of pain to win Euro 2022 last weekend. And now their cricket counterparts are hoping to follow suit at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where they face India in the semi-finals tomorrow.
Attention will turn to The Hundred on August 11, and Sixes is hoping to lend a hand to those looking to follow in the footsteps of their heroes.
Calum Mackinnon, Co-Founder of Sixes, said: “We are beyond delighted to be partnering with the ECB on the We Got Game initiative. Cricket is for everyone and we want that to be reflected at our social cricket venues up and down the country.
“We Got Game is perfectly timed in line with an exciting summer for women’s cricket, not only are we looking forward to seeing more women take to our nets, we can’t wait to tune in and watch the women’s cricket at this year’s Commonwealth Games and beyond.”
Issy Wong, England Women and Birmingham Phoenix player, said: “It’s awesome that women and girls will be able to try cricket for free at Sixes every Friday this summer!
“We Got Game is all about getting more women and girls excited about cricket and feel like it’s a place for them, so this is cool. Cricket changed my life and I love that this gives everyone the chance to try it out.”
