Following the success of ‘#RISE for England’ ECB has launched an interactive campaign encouraging fans to ‘RISE for England Women’ and show their support for the team ahead of the Women’s Ashes Series.

Further episodes will be available throughout the Women’s Ashes Series on youtube.com/ecbcricket and ecb.co.uk/womensashes

Fans tweeting their message of support using #WomensAshes could be featured on a ‘Wall of Support’ in the England Women’s team room during the Women’s Ashes Test at Wormsley which commences on Sunday August 11.

Throughout the Series, which comprises one Test, three NatWest Women’s Internationals and three NatWest Women’s International T20 matches, ecb.co.uk/womensashes will offer fans live scores, news and highlights of every days play.

Chief Executive of ECB, David Collier, said: “This is an extremely exciting and important summer for the England Women’s team as they battle to regain the Ashes in a new and innovative format. This campaign offers cricket lovers across the county the opportunity to show their support for Charlotte Edwards and her team as they take on the Australians. We, at ECB, wish them every success in the Women’s Ashes Series.”
