Lacuna named official kit provider for Lord’s Taverners Women’s XI

As part of this exciting partnership, Lacuna has been named the official kit provider for the Lord’s Taverners Women’s XI, supplying match tops for their inaugural match.

The team will take to the field for the first time on Monday 7 September, when they face the MCC Women’s XI at Highgate Cricket Club in North London. The celebratory fixture will bring together players from across the game, from elite cricketers to young women who have progressed through our programmes, celebrating both the heritage and future of women’s cricket.

Lacuna’s mission is to remove the barriers to movement and ambition, so that all sportswomen can walk out onto a pitch feeling confident, comfortable and able to focus on their game, not their kit. With growing participation among women and girls at the heart of our strategy, we're proud to partner with Lacuna to help support this.

Together with Lacuna, we'll work to reduce barriers to participation, raise awareness of the challenges women and girls continue to face in cricket, and champion positive change across the game.

Poor fit, discomfort and a lack of consideration for the needs of women and girls can impact confidence, enjoyment and ultimately whether someone feels cricket is a game for them.

That's why every Lacuna garment is designed specifically for women and girls. From fit and functionality to addressing cultural and practical needs, their mission is to ensure players can focus on their game, not their kit. By creating teamwear that helps players feel comfortable, confident and supported, they're helping remove barriers and create environments where more women and girls can thrive in cricket.

Through this partnership, we're proud to help ensure more players have access not only to opportunities in the game, but to kit designed with them in mind.

Leigh Burns, Founder of Lacuna Sports, said ‘We're incredibly proud to partner with Lord’s Taverners. Together, we're united by a belief that every young person should have the opportunity to experience the positive impact of cricket. We know that kit can be a barrier, particularly for women and girls, which is why creating clothing that helps players feel confident, comfortable and like they belong in the game is at the heart of everything we do. If we can help more girls step onto the pitch and stay in the game, that's a partnership we're proud to be part of.’
