BELIEVE IN MAD (MAKING A DIFFERENCE) SPONSOR THE GWS
THE GREAT WHITE SHARKS are sponsored by BELIEVE IN M.A.D (Making A Difference).
BELIEVE IN M.A.D is a new coaching organisation launched by Sharks goalkeeper and captain Salma Bi.
The organisation will be run by Salma and other paid coaches to raise awareness of girls/women’s cricket and disability cricket.
Salma's plans are twofold...
In the short-term she aims to organise an indoor National T10 Tournament for girls aged 14+ in the new year. It will be held in the Birmingham area, but will be open to players from all over the UK.
It will be played in a World Cup format with each team representing a country. It is hoped 12 teams will take part in two groups of six, playing each other on a round-robin basis before the competition whittles down to the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.
This tournament is still partly in the planning stage but progress is being made fast.

In the long-term Salma and her co-founder have plans to open an indoor cricket centre with nets, T10 league games and coaching facilities in the Birmingham area.
Salma says: "We want to break the barriers of Asian girls limited to playing cricket outside of educational hours and give them the access to achieve goals and Make A Difference in a safe and suitable place provided."
This blog will regularly publish updates on BELIEVE IN M.A.D (Making A Difference) progress.
