That first step of speaking to someone when you're finding things difficult can be very challenging. But, as @GlamCricket's Kiran Carlson knows well, taking that action is often hugely beneficial in the long term. Watch our #MHAW2026 video ๐Ÿ‘‰ bit.ly/MHAW26Video

๐Ÿ "It's become such a tight-knit community that it feels very personal. If I was to talk about the messages, I'd probably get quite emotional." Liv Bythell, whose partner Tyler McGladdery captains @NelsonCricket, set up a social media page to support, offer friendship and share stories with partners of other cricketers #bbccricket

It's been five years since James Bracey's England caps, the aftermath of which affected him for a while. But in the last two seasons, only seven players have scored more Champo runs. He'd love another go, knows it's unlikely and cherishes county cricket: thecricketer.com/Topics/counโ€ฆ

Happy 38th birthday, Alex. The season is nearly here & youโ€™d have been itching to get the gloves on ๐Ÿ˜Š After Alex died by suicide, Opening Up Cricket was set up to promote mental wellbeing & suicide prevention The best way we can all try is to let our mates know we care โค๏ธ
