Chance to Shine Community Cricket Award nominee 2021
We'd just like to take a moment to highlight the amazing work of Shahid Ali, whose community work earned him a trip to Lord's as a very well deserved nominee for Chance to Shine's recent 2021 Awards.
In 2020, Shahid Ali launched the Allama Iqbal Cricket Club to offer the participants at Sheffield Street Project the opportunity to play hard ball cricket. Shahid established an U9 girls team and U11 and U13 mixed teams, who have already had great success in local cricket leagues. Despite the challenges that COVID-19 presented, Shahid has ensured that there is a cricket offer available for the local South Asian community, whilst supporting the young people to increase their confidence, self-respect and enthusiasm to practice and improve.
A massive well done all all you've done, Shahid! We look forward to seeing what is to come in the future!
