Yvonne Tweddle highlights women's roles in cricket at Edgbaston

Yvonne Tweddle, a groundskeeper for Kings Bromley Cricket Club, aims to inspire women in cricket through her work. The England and Wales Cricket Board launched an initiative recognizing the contributions of women since 1973, unveiling 53 purple seats at Edgbaston ahead of the T20 Women's World Cup. Tweddle's involvement demonstrates various opportunities in the sport, from playing to coaching and groundskeeping. The ECB noted a 75% increase in women and girls' fixtures in Warwickshire, emphasizing a push for greater inclusivity in cricket. The campaign seeks to challenge perceptions and make the sport more accessible for women and girls.
