First-ever Champion of Women’s and Girls’ Cricket
Transforming cricket for generations to come, from grassroots clubs all the way up to England’s superstars
We’re so proud to be partnered with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) as the first-ever Champion of Women’s and Girls’ Cricket, and lead partner for the One Day women’s and men’s game.
Through our partnership with purpose, we’re putting our passion for diversity, inclusion and community into action to empower women and girls to reach their full potential in cricket and beyond.
We champion women in cricket and in business
During the England Women vs New Zealand series this summer, we gave three of our female entrepreneur customers the chance to put their brand centre stage at their local cricket ground.

The Metro Bank Girls in Cricket Fund: Championing the Future
Don’t Just Change the Game. Transform it. Find out how you can take an active role at your local club to help shape a bright future for girls’ cricket.
The Metro Bank Girls in Cricket Fund, co-created and co-funded with the ECB, aims to triple the number of girls’ cricket teams by breaking down barriers and creating supportive and inclusive spaces to attract and keep more girls in the sport.
The Fund will specifically focus on volunteers and coaches in girls’ cricket; so whether you are brand new to the game and would like to volunteer, a player that wants to explore how you can give back to your club, a coach considering your next qualification, or even a qualified coach looking to progress further, there will be support available to you.
