Hi, my name is Dan and i'm 14. I have played cricket at Ockbrook and Borrowash cricket club since the age of 6. Cricket has always been a passion of mine! Last year I was introduced to Senior cricket at OBCC and began my journey into District cricket with Erewash. My Erewash coach Kieran, has helped me develop over the past year and in September he introduced me to indoor cricket for the first time. Over the winter I played weekly at Willows sports center and really enjoyed the fast paced, competitive nature of the game. I was chosen to play in the Derby Cobras under 15 team in a national competition, in which we came third overall. As a result of this, I was selected to trial for the England under 15 indoor team. The two trials were held in Birmingham at Action Indoor Sports. On the 1st of May I received an email saying that I had been selected for the extended England under 15 squad. This means that I have a chance to represent my country in the 2018 Indoor Cricket World Cup in New Zealand.

I need to raise approximately £3000 in order for me to be able to travel to New Zealand in September and be part of this once in a lifetime experience. Indoor cricket in the UK is an unfunded sport as it is relatively new which means I have to fund myself. This is why i need your help! Any help that I get whether it be in terms of donations or raising awareness of my journey would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your support, Dan.
