Nicole is a young woman who has come through the traditional cricket pathway since starting the game in a boys cricket team in Moe in Gippsland Victoria.

Nicole toured with CWOB to Fiji in 2015 and it was easy to see even then she was a naturally talented player and leader.

She has represented Victoria and the Melbourne Stars in the WBBL as a wicketkeeper and top order batter and is one of the young shining stars in Australian cricket and it is wonderful to hear about her journey in the game thus far.

An inspiring discussion with Cheryll about Fairbreak Global and its mission to progress equality on a truly global scale, using cricket as a vehicle to do so.

Cheryll has been CEO of Fairbreak for just over 18 months and has as her aim to nurture people as individuals or collectively to move forward on their chosen path and to empower people by giving them the tools/capacity to take the next step with newfound confidence.

Fairbreak Global is certainly doing just that through their invitational tours which now have ICC approval and involve players and umpires from ICC Associate countries as well as full members countries.

Fairbreak is committed to pushing the envelope, breaking down barriers and driving positive change, one match at a time, inspiring action towards a more equitable future for all.

You can certainly hear Cheryll’s passion to this commitment in this podcast as she also outlines her vision for the future which will hopefully include matches here in Australia.

This is a wonderful chat with a woman who is changing the landscape for girls and women’s clothing in the sport of cricket. An American by birth who has lived in London for the past twenty years Leigh actually saw her first game of cricket in Australia but years later when her daughter started playing the game in London, Leigh could see that the players uniforms were totally tailored for boys.

She set about changing the landscape for young girls and women for both their onfield clothing and off field team wear and is succeeding !

This is a wonderful discussion not only about her desire to provide bespoke on and off field uniforms but also how Leigh has developed a portal for female players to access all the information required about girls/women’s cricket and has also engaged the assistance of former England player Lydia Greenway to assist her.
