After playing the sport for just a few years, I have been selected as a part of a squad of 12 players to compete for England in the Womens' U21 Indoor World Cup in Dubai this September. Here we will compete against the world's best teams, including Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, for the title of World Champions.

As Indoor cricket is an amateur sport, we are having to fund the trip ourselves. So far I have raised £815, leaving £1,335 to go to reach my final goal of £2,150, so please keep donating!

This total includes flights, accommodation, transport to and from the airport/hotel/venue, kit and equipment, team doctor and physio, managers, coaches, and tournament entry fees.

Please please please give as much as you can, if it's a penny, a pound, 10 pounds or 100 pounds, every penny will help.

A special thank you to everyone who has already donated, I can't tell you how grateful I am for your help and support. To see their kind words and donations, please follow this link: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/alice-baird-1

Please help me achieve my dream to play for England.
