​Encouraging more girls to take up cricket

National Cricket Week is run by the cricket charity Chance to Shine. Each year, it sees thousands of schools and communities across the country will take part in a week of cricket-themed activities to celebrate the sport and encourage children to play and learn through cricket all year round.
