Historical Research and Storytelling

Uncover the stories that matter. Bring your cricketing heritage to life.

Women’s cricket has a rich history, but too many of its stories remain untold. Raf is an experienced researcher and historian specialising in women’s cricket, with 15 years of research behind her book The Women in Whites: A History of Women’s Cricket in England.

Drawing on archival research, oral history interviews and her extensive knowledge of the women’s game, Raf helps cricket organisations uncover overlooked stories, celebrate the people who shaped their clubs and better understand their heritage.

Whether you want to explore the history of your women’s team, record the experiences of former players, investigate a significant moment in your organisation’s past or develop research to inform future strategy, Raf can design a project tailored to your needs.

From in-depth historical investigations to accessible, engaging storytelling, she can help you turn your cricketing past into something meaningful for players, members, supporters and future generations.

Potential projects include:

• Researching the history of your women’s team or club.

• Recording oral histories with former players, coaches and administrators.

• Uncovering overlooked people, events and milestones in your organisation’s history.

• Producing historical reports, articles, publications and digital content.

• Using historical research to inform contemporary conversations about equality, governance and the future of women’s cricket.
