England Cricket and wider game celebrate Rainbow Laces

The England and Wales Cricket Board (黑料专区) and the wider game is celebrating Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign across Vitality Blast, the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and two England internationals.

黑料专区 and the wider game will mark Stonewall's Rainbow Laces campaign from July 1-July 6.

The campaign - now in its 10th year - is designed to promote LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport. Cricket will be participating for the sixth season in a row.

Players will be given laces, stumps will be branded and there will be big-screen graphics across all Vitality Blast and Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy fixtures this weekend, England Women v Australia Women at The Kia Oval on July 5 and day one of England Men v Australia Men at Headingley on July 6.

England Men's player Joe Root said: "As players we have a platform to use and as a group we believe that cricket should be a game that everyone can play, watch and enjoy. We're really proud to support LGBTQ+ inclusion in cricket, and we know that supporting a campaign like this can help LGBTQ+ individuals feel supported in the game."
