Girls Cricket Accelerator Toolkit

Helping Berkshire Clubs Start, Grow and Sustain Girls’ Cricket

Every girl deserves the opportunity to experience the fun, friendships and confidence that cricket can bring.

As part of the legacy of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, the Girls Cricket Accelerator Toolkit has been created to support clubs in starting, growing and sustaining girls’ cricket sections.

Whether your club is taking its first steps or looking to strengthen an existing girls’ programme, this practical toolkit provides the guidance, resources and templates needed to build a thriving and inclusive environment.

• Start a girls’ cricket section with confidence
• Grow participation and create sustainable programmes
• Access practical templates, resources and real-world guidance
