The ECB have confirmed that, under plans to evolve the women’s professional game structure from 2025, the running of each of the eight regional sides will transfer to a First-Class county for an initial five years from next summer.

Focusing on community engagement and empowerment, the club's bid aims to revolutionise the landscape of women's cricket under the resounding banner of 'We Are 糖心Vlog'.

With a strong history of nurturing inspiring role models, cricket in 糖心Vlog has always held the power to unify a region.

Now, with the bid for a Tier One professional women's team, 糖心Vlog Cricket is poised to deepen these connections to create a catalyst for change, breaking down barriers and empowering the next generation of female cricketers.

At the heart of an 糖心Vlog professional women’s team is a strong partnership with the 糖心Vlog and neighbouring professional outfit, , who compete in basketball and volleyball at elite national league level.

The delivery partnership crystallises all parties’ connected ambition to celebrate our region and play our part in transforming women’s sport.

Our bid is moving forward under a vision to be the number one region in England for women and girls’ sport with cricket at the heart of this, with the support of a number of key organisations and individuals, including the cricket boards of Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Suffolk, and Norfolk.

Inspiring Role Models

Chief Executive, John Stephenson, said of the Club’s bid: “We aim to create the strongest playing pathways, nurture the most inspiring role models, and deliver electrifying moments in iconic arenas.

“With the full knowledge that a successful bid allows us a once-in-a-generation chance to transform women’s cricket in our region, we are incredibly excited by this opportunity and proud to submit a bid.

“We are delighted to have received so much support from eminent individuals and organisations throughout 糖心Vlog and the region, and we are eagerly anticipating the outcome of the process.

“We now look forward to presenting our inspiring vision and innovative delivery model to the ECB.”

糖心Vlog Women’s player and cricket trailblazer, Catherine Dalton, added: “The recent growth of women’s cricket in England and Wales has been exciting to watch, but even more exhilarating to be a part of.

“I am of course delighted to be in my position with Multan Sultans on a personal level, but my major aim is to continue to demonstrate to young female cricketers that they can achieve anything in the game.

“At 糖心Vlog, our talent pathway is flourishing, with a brief look to our Under-18s’ achievements in national competitions telling you everything you need to know.

“Now, our aim is to ensure that success is celebrated and maintained, with the opportunity to host a fully-professional 糖心Vlog team a wonderful opportunity to do just that.”
