With the growth of the women and girls’ game here in Yorkshire, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved beyond playing.

A new Females in Cricket event, organised by the Yorkshire Cricket Board (YCB), is being held at Headingley Cricket Ground on Saturday 22 February. There will be workshops by industry experts, plus the chance to meet other volunteers and learn ways to connect with the game.
