Pundits, players and officials are showing their support for Rainbow Laces!
Cricket is for everyone, so Sky Sports and the ECB have teamed up for Rainbow Laces weekend!
In the coming days, Vitality Blast and Kia Super League are lacing up to send the message loud and clear that the LGBT community are welcome in the game!
Rainbow flags will be part of the guard of honour for every match, and a rainbow decoration will adorn cricket stumps.
Umpires and Sky Sports’ commentators are also getting involved and will be given rainbow laces, and at all grounds support for the campaign will appear on the big screens.
