Honour Black, co-founder of Maiden Cricket, says Mya was picked to represent the firm thanks to her “clear passion for making cricket more inclusive and accessible for girls”.
The company, set up by sisters Honour and Cat in 2024, aims to design comfortable clothing specifically for female cricketers.
The sisters say Mya’s role would give her opportunities to meet industry leaders and participate in events.
Mya, who plays for Falkland Cricket Club, says she started playing cricket at her old school.
“They put me into the hard ball team and I just really enjoyed playing hard ball with my school,” she says.
“I joined two local clubs and I play for my county as well now.”
But there was one problem.
“I was looking for girls cricket wear because I was always having to wear boys clothes,” she says.
“I came across [Maiden Cricket] and I really liked what they stood for and their focus to help more girls and women play cricket and be more comfortable in their clothes, playing the sport we love.”
The company said it received hundreds of applicants for the ambassador position.
Honour says: “Mya really stood out to us from the start.
“Her drive to raise the profile of girls’ hard ball cricket and her desire to inspire others really align with Maiden’s mission.
“We were blown away by her enthusiasm and vision for change in the sport.”
