“A bat that my late dad used and my earliest memory of him playing. Great to now use it in his memory.” — @Bolts329 We craft our blades to last a lifetime, but it’s stories like Ian’s that remind us what truly lives inside the willow. The game passes down, the legacy remains, and every run scored is a nod to the ones who first taught us to love the crease. Thank you for sharing this incredible piece of your family’s history with us, Ian. Here is to playing for those who handed us our first bat. What is the oldest piece of cricket gear you still have in your kitbag? Tell us below.👇 #DuncanFearnley #CricketLegacy #GenerationsOfCricket #CricketFamily #EnglishWillow #CricketHistory #PerfectionInCricket

A fitting tribute to a Glamorgan legend. So many in the game, have much to thank Hugh for. Not only did he leave a performance and business legacy in the game. He was the man who brought a player care and future planning programme into professional cricket. ACE now @PCA PDWP 👏
Today we officially unveiled the Hugh Morris National Cricket Centre at Sophia Gardens, a lasting tribute to a Glamorgan great whose impact on Welsh cricket will be felt for generations 🌾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏏❤️ #OhGlammyGlammy

Lee Westwood with a mic drop moment when asked about the difference playing The Open vs LIV this week, "I don't mind change and adapting, its people in the general that don't like change" + "All sports have to adapt & change & I think golf's doing a great job of it through LIV."

Going to be missed @SportsCharlie . Did cricket and @PCA members proud.
An incredible 19 year association with the PCA, working with inspiring players and committed staff, comes to an end on 5th July. I’m changing from a round ball to an oval one and joining the Global Rugby Players Foundation at the start of their journey. Today was the launch. 🚀

Poor tweet that.Number of junior sides have pulled out for similar reasons last year and this year.Yet I’ve not seen Newport tweet that? May be that’s because their good youngsters have moved? Disappointing to see Newport name shame lower division clubs trying to keep game going
