The Second One from Edgbaston

Liam Norwell, Emily Arlott and Lachlan Smith on the UK's first LGBTQ+ cricket tournament!

It鈥檚 a special bonus episode today, as we celebrate a little bit of history that鈥檚 happening in the world of cricket this Sunday.

It鈥檚 the UK鈥檚 first-ever LGBTQ+ cricket tournament, and it鈥檚 happening at Sutton Coldfield Cricket Club.

It鈥檚 an 11 o鈥檆lock start and will feature teams from Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Middlesex and Northamptonshire 鈥� and since it鈥檚 Warwickshire who have been instrumental in making this happen, it was only right for us to take a trip to Edgbaston to find out more.

We pulled together a great panel 鈥� and by 鈥榳e鈥�, I mean Brigg Ford from Warwickshire who has been a huge help to the podcast over the years for a chat about inclusivity, allyship, coming out, cricket, Harry Potter and so much more.

You鈥檙e going to from Warwickshire bowler Liam Norwell; Central Sparks, Birmingham Phoenix and Worcester Rapids player Emily Arlott; and Lachlan Smith from Birmingham Unicorns, who has been instrumental in pulling it altogether.

It鈥檚 a cracking episode, and we think you鈥檒l love it!
