Hello friends and followers! I just wanted to let you know that I am trans non-binary. I don’t know if this is the end of my journey or not, it’s how I feel now and I’m proud to share it with you. My pronouns are they/them and I’d rather you used H, Hen or Henners. Thanks 🏳️⚧️❤️

Heather is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever worked with. So hard-working, so selfless; always wholly committed to driving her team forward. A fantastic leader, and a fantastic human. Very glad it’s not the end yet, looking forward to seeing runs from within the ranks.

If you like women's sport then please watch: https://t.co/Gw8Z485S8U I don't think we do enough to celebrate the women who did it all before the investment, the crowds and the profile. The hurdles were even bigger, but they laid the foundations for the sports we see today.

Ahead of International Women's Day, we asked four former and current England Women's cricketers to discuss how much the game has changed and to reflect on their own journey in the sport.

The actions of Mapi León prove women’s football is failing its Black players.

so I wrote about why I no longer want to be a sports journalist. I have been contemplating writing this for a while now and finally found the courage to do so. Hope this speaks to those working in the sports journalism/media industry. Any interaction is appreciated. Link below.

How amazing is this. Nigeria very close to making the semi-finals of a Cricket World Cup. Something to celebrate and something to build upon.
Nigeria defeats Ireland by 6 runs to finish 3rd place in Super 6 Group 2! 🇳🇬🏏💛💚 Excellent performance from the #JuniorFemaleYellowgreens ! #NaijaCrickettotheWorld

“Mr Kaba, who was not armed and had no weapons in the car, had both hands on the steering wheel when he was shot in the head.” And yet, sadly, not surprised by this verdict. What a sad indictment that is. His poor family. Certainly doesn’t feel like justice.

A sad piece, an important piece. Awful that so many women are forced to endure unacceptable situations by virtue of being a football fan. And the reaction entirely tallies with the misogyny that is rife at men's football up and down the UK every weekend.

Yesterday I reported on the ECB’s LGBTQ+ Community in Cricket Employee Network. A really brilliant event hosted by @HMLCowen that sensitively discussed the lived experience of cricketers while crucially highlighting the importance of allyship. 👇 https://t.co/8AwvQpWsoG
