WARWICKSHIRE Bears will show their support for Pride ahead of the club’s home double-header at Edgbaston this weekend.
Pride month takes place throughout June and the Bears will show their support with a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community.
Bears Women host Surrey in T20 action at 3pm on Friday, June 26 while the men’s team play rivals Worcestershire Rapids in the Blast at 7pm later the same night.
Warwickshire players will lace up their boots with rainbow colours in both matches.
And the club will fly rainbow flags outside their Edgbaston home with Pride branding to feature prominently on all graphics and the big screen during the two matches.
Several members of Birmingham Unicorns Cricket Club, an LGBTQ+ inclusive club founded in 2020, will be in attendance on the day.
One of the club’s founding members, Lachlan Smith said: “As someone who has had a lifelong passion for cricket, having a club like Warwickshire commit to providing a welcoming space for all in the LGBTQ+ community has been incredibly important.
“This match is an important part of Pride month and making sure cricket really is a sport for everyone.”
