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 the Durham Legends v PCA Legends match in Gosforth and to Headingley for the Yorkshire Players Day which featured a double-header of cricket.
Our next stops are -
24 July – Worcestershire v Derbyshire Falcons
New Road, Worcester
Next we head to Worcester for the Metro Bank One Day Cup clash between Worcestershire and Derbyshire Falcons. The day is also hosting a PCA past players event. It's another fantastic opportunity to celebrate cricket, share the stories behind the book and continue raising funds for a great cause.
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.
29 July - Yorkshire v Worcestershire Rapids
Clifton Park, York
At another early Metro Bank One Day Cup fixture, set against the backdrop of the picturesque York Cricket Club, the What Cricket Means to Me team will be there with copies of What Yorkshire Cricket Means to Me available to purchase.
The book has already raised more than £5,000 for Yorkshire cricket causes, but we want to do even more. Every penny raised from book sales goes directly towards supporting vital projects across Yorkshire, including mental health initiatives and disability cricket programmes.
