Faizah
Faizah has found a love of cricket through Wicketz and hopes that other young people can find the same.
My name is Faizah, and I am 15 years old. In September, I'll be starting college, which I'm really excited for.
Some things I love doing in my free time are cricket, netball and writing poems. In addition, I found out about Lord’s Taverners through Wicketz at my school when I was in Year 9, and since then I’ve enjoyed playing it. This experience allowed me to gain several opportunities, such as playing against other schools and even going on a residential trip.
I want to become a Youth Ambassador because I want to help other young people become more confident in the sport and trust their ability more. Furthermore, in my role, I hope to encourage more young people to play cricket and see how fun the sport is. The thing that I am most passionate about is learning the reason why people started cricket, as everyone has different stories, which is what makes cricket a fantastic sport.
A huge achievement I'm proud of is that, through cricket, I have improved both my cricket skills and personal skills such as team building, which showed me how meaningful a journey cricket has led for me.
