A little later this month, two cricket teams will step out onto a pitch in the UK to play each other for the first time – and make a little bit of history.
The match between Graces and Unicorns is the first time that two LGBTQ+ sides have ever had a game of cricket against each other.
And that’s because, up until last year, Graces were the world’s only inclusive side – with the Unicorns only established in 2020.
The game is happening on Sunday 23rd May at 1pm, 40 overs a side – and we thought that was the perfect excuse to get a roundtable together to talk all about inclusivity in men’s cricket.
Up first, you’re going to hear from:
Manish Modi and Leo Skyner from Graces. Lachlan Smith, the founder of Unicorns. Rob Evans, who will be umpiring the historic match.
And then after that, you’ll hear from Henry Cowen, who is the Communications Manager for England’s Women’s Team – and has his own take on the importance of inclusivity in the game.
It’s a bumper conversation, full of great chat for cricket fans – and we think you’ll really like it.
