When I wear my Maiden kit, I feel proud to be part of something that means a lot to me and many other girls and I’m able to share it with so many more people

What do you love the most about the Maiden kit? Which is your favourite piece and why?
My favourite kit is either the maiden pullover because it is so comfortable and I feel so confident in it and my maiden cricket bad is so big and can fit all my stuff and more meaning I don’t have to worry about any of my kit falling out like I did when I had my cousins old bag which struggled to fit all my kit.
