Back from maternity leave…and so here we go……..! Great start @StuartBroad8 💪 looking forward to speaking to @bbctms later about the future of @Chance2Shine – at Leeds, England
A wonderful opportunity to reach children who are less likely to be active. We know when given the chance in the right environment, children reap wide-ranging benefits from cricket. Huge thanks to @ECB_cricket for their support for @Chance2Shine and our friends @LordsTaverners
We're joining with @ECB_cricket & @LordsTaverners to take cricket to the places where children are at the greatest risk of missing out on playing the game. Providing free sessions with qualified coaches to thousands more children.
