Congratulations to Seren Smale who was just signed for 💙
Seren is an MCC Foundation graduate and the first to receive a pro contract.
Today alone, MCCF is delivering free coaching sessions for young women in 29 Hubs across the UK, supporting projects in seven different countries and bringing cricket to thousands. This does not just happen today: this happens every day.
As we mark International Women’s Day, we can reflect on the joy and the opportunities that cricket brings young girls around the world. We also reiterate our backing for Pitch Our Future. We celebrate and support the work being done to help Afghanistan’s female cricketers who have had to flee their homeland. We look forward to updating with more information on our support for Pitch Our Future soon.
Not only does the MCCF Hub Programme offer free access to cricket, it also provides talented youngsters with a pathway to progress into County Age Group squads.
We were delighted to speak to new Glamorgan spinner Romano Franco who graduated from our Wrexham Hub, where he developed his skills and made lasting friendships on his way to becoming a professional cricketer.
Huge News!
We are delighted to confirm that ECB will provide over £1m to help the MCC Foundation grow its National Hub Programme, which offers access to free coaching and increased match play opportunities for state-educated children across the UK.
