Esme
Receiving fielder of the year for county in 2023 season
Name: Esme aged 14, from Newcastle under Lyme has been playing for 9 years and plays for Staffordshire.
Cricket Story: I love the game and was proud to be received fielder of the year for county in 2023. I want to continue to play at the highest level I can.
Why do you love Maiden and wanted to be an ambassador? Cricket is a game where all girls can achieve as individuals and as part of a team. Cricket enables girls to become fit and active as well as be sociable - this is turn makes girls have better mental health and wealth and I want to celebrate this with Maiden.
Esme is supported by Gateley: "We are a proud supporter of Maiden Cricket through the Rising Stars initiative and truly inspired by the innovative spirit and passion of young visionaries, Honor and Cat Black, to transform the world of cricket by contributing to a future where every girl can step onto the cricket field with confidence, dressed in kit that is designed specifically for them. Their drive to transform cricket into a sport that welcomes all, by providing the future generation of female cricketers with specifically tailored attire, resonates deeply with our own aspirations to cultivate an inclusive atmosphere and nurtures an environment that embraces diversity and equality"
