Ahead of the highly anticipated LV= Insurance Women's Ashes Test match against Australia at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground, Sophie Ecclestone, a prominent player in the England women's cricket team, participated in a training session organized by a grassroots cricket club in Nottingham.Cricktribe.com
England cricketer Sophie Ecclestone recently joined a grassroots cricket session in Nottingham. The session was organised by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and was attended by over 100 children from local schools.
Ecclestone, who is currently the number one ranked bowler in the world, was joined by other England players such as Heather Knight, Anya Shrubsole and Tammy Beaumont. The session was designed to inspire the next generation of cricketers and to encourage more young people to take up the sport.
The session was a great success, with the children taking part in a range of activities such as batting, bowling and fielding drills. Ecclestone was on hand to offer advice and support to the children, and she was also able to share her own experiences of playing cricket at the highest level.
The ECB is committed to increasing participation in cricket at all levels, and this session was a great example of how the organisation is working to achieve this. It is hoped that the session will have a lasting impact on the children who attended, and that it will encourage more young people to take up the sport.
