Cricket Journey: Melissa may be early in her cricket journey, but she made a bold entrance — taking a hat trick in her very first game. Her natural instinct for the sport and fearless attitude at the crease set her apart from the start. With just a year under her belt, she’s already shown that she doesn’t wait for permission — she dives in, learns fast, and plays hard.

Melissa wants to continue developing her skills while creating a space where other girls feel confident to pick up a bat or ball for the first time. For her, cricket is about more than personal growth — it’s about community. She shows up not just to play, but to help others feel like they belong in the game too.

Why Maiden: Melissa became a Maiden ambassador because she knows what it feels like to be new to the sport — and how powerful it is to feel represented and encouraged. Maiden’s mission to empower girls through cricket resonated deeply with her. It’s not just about what you wear — it’s about how you feel when you wear it.

Through Maiden, Melissa is helping show that there’s no ‘right time’ to start. Cricket is for everyone, and there’s room for every kind of girl in the game.
