Keya

"I want to be a professional or coach in the industry"

Name: Keya aged 14 started playing cricket 3 years ago

Cricket Story: I play for my school, Chigwell as well as Wanstead & Snaresbrook club and Essex at county level. I am proud to say that I have played against Sunrisers EPP and for MCC a couple of times

Why do you love Maiden and wanted to be an ambassador? I first saw it on Instagram and was inspired because I myself have experienced when I wear whites for boys matches it looks baggy and just doesn't fit! I saw the clothing and I was in love. It looks comfortable and pretty at the same time. I would like to promote it as I think cricket is for everyone so everyone should feel comfortable in their clothes.

Keya 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"
