What Cricket Means to Me brings together powerful, honest voices that show cricket as far more than a game - it's a lifeline, a community and a source of strength that shapes lives well beyond the boundary rope.
Featuring contributions from Jonathon Agnew, Charlotte Edwards, David Gower, Dicky Bird, Dan Norcross and many more, plus umpires, backroom staff, fans and grassroots players.
Through raw and deeply personal stories, these books celebrate the bonds that cricket creates, while raising vital funds for the Cricketers' Trust and the wider cricket family.

Coming Soon!Meet the What Cricket Means to Me Team This Summer
The What Cricket Means To Me roadshow is heading around the country this summer, and we'd love to see you along the way!
Following the fantastic support we've received so far, we'll be taking the books to a number of special cricket events where you can meet the team, hear more about the project and pick up your copy of the books that have already raised an incredible amount of money for our two charities.
So far we've been to Gosforth, Headingley, Worcester, York and Scarborough.
Our next stop is -
The Towergate Cheltenham Cricket Festival - the longest-running cricket festival in the world! We'll be there on Thursday August 20th which is the opening day of Gloucesetrshire Men vs Worcestershire Men. Do come along and find us!
We've been overwhelmed by the incredible support we've received at Yorkshire matches so far and are excited to meet even more cricket lovers as we continue to raise funds for the Cricketers' Trust and the Yorkshire Players Association. Do come and say hello and help us celebrate the stories, people and communities that make cricket such a special game.
Every book sold helps support the cricketing community through the Cricketers' Trust and the Yorkshire Players' Association. If you're attending any of these events, we'd love to meet you and talk about what cricket means to you.
