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.

Marcella has done it all from a young woman playing the game at club level, representing her State, an administrator for the Victorian Women’s Cricket Association, working for Cricket Victoria and now the Co-ordinator of Women’s Cricket at the Melbourne Cricket Club as well as being the team Manager for Cricket Without Borders on a number of tours.

This is a most enjoyable discussion with someone who has given everything to the sport and continues to do so with a great passion for the game of cricket.
