JM Finn, who have been club sponsors of Surrey Cricket Club for 16 years, are also incredibly proud to support Tammy. We originally partnered with her to help forge an equal playing field, and because our values were aligned on the importance of diversifying cricket as a sport. Oliver Tregoning, Head of Marketing commented: “Tammy is an absolute pleasure to work with. Women’s sport has continued to gain popularity and we hope that the success of players like Tammy will help pull more talent into the game at the grassroots level.”

Across the world, the popularity of women’s cricket has soared thanks to a very competitive world cup.

In addition, 70% of fans want more live coverage of women’s cricket.
