Wicketz and ACE unite
On 30 June, The Yorkshire Cricket Foundation held its inaugural combined ACE and Wicketz Windrush Event at the Caribbean Sports Club in Ecclesfield.
With England entering a month-long lockdown, Wicketz participants will once again be engaging in online programme activities for the duration of November.
Always looking to provide new opportunities for the young people on our community cricket programme, Manchester Wicketz Development Officer, Chris Riley, organised online video calls with ex-Lancashire wicket-keeper, now Business Development Manager, Warren Hegg and batsman Karl Brown for Q&As with participants to discuss life as a professional cricketer and offer advice on kick-starting a career alongside playing sport.
Lancashire left-arm spinner Tom Hartley was most recent to face questions from the younger group of participants to discuss diet, training and how to stave off boredom during lockdown.
Take a look at the videos below to find out more.
