Tickets for this year's Southern Vipers fixtures are now on-sale with individual match tickets to witness the Kia Super League title defence available to purchase.
As part of the celebration of the on-sale, senior players from all six Kia Super League teams travelled down to the 1st Central County Ground, Hove today.
Southern Vipers all-rounder, Danni Wyatt, joined England skipper Heather Knight (Western Stor, Tammy Beaumont (Surrey Stars), Georgia Elwiss (Loughborough Lightning), Danielle Hazell (Lancashire Thunder) and Lauren Winfield (Yorkshire Diamonds) took part in a cricketing session alongside local kids from Mile Oak Primary School on Hove.
The event feeds into an exciting summer of women's cricket with the ICC Women's World Cup due to reach its thrilling finale just weeks before the start of the second Kia Super League – ‘where the world's best will play this summer’. Fourteen venues are to be used across the fixture list this year, up from nine in 2016.
A local Sussex graffiti artist celebrated the on-sale date with an artistic interpretation of the Kia Super League logo which will be displayed at the 1st Central County Ground, Hove throughout the season.
The Kia Super League is a key part of a fantastic opportunity this summer. The KSL will showcase our sport, grow our participation base, reach new audiences and inspire more fans than ever before to watch and get involved with women’s cricket.
Clare Connor, ECB Director of England Women's Cricket
We have already seen the competition improve the quality of premier domestic women’s cricket in England. The interest from the first year showed us what was possible with the tournament and we have a great base to continue to grow and develop the KSL.
