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”.<\/p>\n
The company, set up by sisters Honour and Cat in 2024, aims to design comfortable clothing specifically for female cricketers.<\/p>\n
The sisters say Mya’s role would give her opportunities to meet industry leaders and participate in events.<\/p>\n
Mya, who plays for Falkland Cricket Club, says she started playing cricket at her old school.<\/p>\n
“They put me into the hard ball team and I just really enjoyed playing hard ball with my school,” she says.<\/p>\n
“I joined two local clubs and I play for my county as well now.”<\/p>\n
But there was one problem.<\/p>\n
“I was looking for girls cricket wear because I was always having to wear boys clothes,” she says.<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
The company said it received hundreds of applicants for the ambassador position.<\/p>\n
Honour says: “Mya really stood out to us from the start.<\/p>\n
“Her drive to raise the profile of girls’ hard ball cricket and her desire to inspire others really align with Maiden’s mission.<\/p>\n
“We were blown away by her enthusiasm and vision for change in the sport.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Honour Black, co-founder of Maiden Cricket, says Mya was picked to represent the firm thanks to her “clear…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39570,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-39569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
