Hi, I’m Mila!

Welcome to my first MILA blog!

I thought for my first one I’d tell you a bit about me and why I started MILA.

I’m 11 years old and cricket is my favourite sport. I started playing cricket when I was really little and now I play all the time. I train a lot, play matches and I’ve made loads of friends through cricket.

I think one of the best things about cricket is being part of a team. I love it when everyone cheers each other on and gets excited when someone does well. Even if you’re having a bad game, your teammates can make you feel better.

MILA stands for Motivate, Inspire, Lead, Achieve.

I wanted to start MILA because I want more girls to play cricket and not be worried about whether they are going to be good at it. When I first started I obviously wasn't as good as I am now because I hadn't learnt everything yet. You just have to have a go and see if you like it.

I also wanted to make some cricket things that I would actually want myself. I’ve been helping choose and design everything for MILA and it’s been really exciting seeing the things we talked about actually being made.

I’m going to write more blogs about cricket, matches, training, things I get up to and what we’re doing with MILA.

Hopefully you like reading them!
