Morning after the first night of the Ashes (good times), was invited to a nearby community centre to see the good work being done by MCC's community branch, introducing cricket to a group of Ukrainian teenagers:
It's a shame that we don't play this game at home: How MCC have brought cricket to Ukraine | The Cricketer
Through a link-up with Lord's, 40 Ukrainian teenagers spent the morning after the first night of the Ashes series learning the game as part of a two-week respite trip away from the conflict

If you only buy two books about courageous, eccentric cricket teams this year, make @icelandcricket.bsky.social's story the other one:
To anyone new to our world, you may be interested in reading the book on Icelandic cricket by Kit Harris. Called From Lord's to the Fjords, it was published in November 2023 and provides an account of how we invented cricket back in 911 CE and some of our more modern antics.
