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, Headingley for the Yorkshire Players Day and Worcester for a match between Worcestershire and Derbyshire Falcons, featuring a PCA past players event.
Our next stop is -
7 August - Yorkshire v Derbyshire Falcons
Scarborough
The What Cricket Means To Me team is looking forward to heading to the beautiful North Marine Road ground. One of county cricket's most iconic and picturesque venues, famous for its unique atmosphere, sea air and generations of unforgettable Yorkshire moments, Scarborough remains a firm favourite with players and supporters alike.
We've been overwhelmed by the incredible support we've received at Yorkshire matches so far and are excited to meet even more cricket lovers as we continue to raise funds for the Cricketers' Trust and the Yorkshire Players Association. Do come and say hello and help us celebrate the stories, people and communities that make cricket such a special game.
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.
