‘We’re Just Getting Started’: Danielle Lee on Metro Bank’s impact on Women’s Cricket

Last year, Metro Bank became the ECB’s inaugural Champion Partner of Women’s and Girls’ Cricket, a partnership designed to foster inclusivity and drive participation at all levels of the sport. At the heart of the collaboration is the Metro Bank Girls in Cricket Fund, which aims to increase opportunities for women and girls to get involved in cricket, from grassroots programs to elite competitions.

To mark the end of the first full year of this partnership, we sat down with Danielle Lee, Brand and Marketing Director at Metro Bank, to reflect on the progress made so far, the lessons learned, and the bank’s ongoing commitment to supporting women’s cricket in the UK. Danielle shared insights into the challenges they’ve faced and the strides they’ve taken to help transform the landscape of women’s and girls’ cricket.
