We’re delighted to announce a new partnership with FTI Cricket Tours Ltd. Together, we’ll design bespoke tops for FTI’s women’s cricket tours throughout 2027.
FTI brings women’s cricket clubs from across Europe together for tournaments, festivals, training camps and social tours. Teams get the chance to combine cricket with travel, new experiences and time together away from their usual surroundings.
As part of the partnership, every player on an FTI women’s cricket tour in 2027 will receive a Lacuna training top, with a unique design for each destination. The tops will travel with teams to tours across Europe from March 2027.
Desiging For Women’s Cricket
The design process is already underway. We’re working closely with FTI’s cricket team on every top. We’re bringing what we know about how women move, play and perform to create designs that feel right for each team and each destination.
Every 2027 tour top will share a common design, with a unique colour and feature for each destination. That makes each one a keepsake from the team’s time away together.
We’ll share the first designs as the 2027 tours get closer. Keep an eye on Instagram, where we’ll be giving shout-outs to FTI touring teams in their Lacuna training tops.
More Than A Match Top
A cricket tour is about far more than what happens on the pitch.
For Lacuna, that matters. We want more women to stay in cricket, take every opportunity to play and feel good while they’re doing it. What women wear shouldn’t be something they have to think twice about. It should let them focus on the game, the experience and being part of a team.
Commenting on the partnership, Leigh Burns, Founder of Lacuna Sports, says:
‘We’re really looking forward to supporting so many women and their teams as they head off on tour. For Lacuna, it’s a chance to meet more women playing grassroots cricket, listen to what they need and keep learning from the players at the heart of the game.
‘We’re already working on the designs and can’t wait to see women enjoying their tour tops. We want the kit to play a small part in making their tour a positive one, helping women feel comfortable, confident and good in what they’re wearing so they can focus on enjoying their cricket. If a training top can contribute to that, then we’re all in.’
James Knowles, Managing Director of FTI Cricket Tours Ltd, says:
‘FTI Cricket Tours Ltd is delighted to partner with Lacuna Sports, a brand that shares our passion for making women’s cricket bigger, better and more accessible. Lacuna Sports’ specialist women’s cricketwear is a natural fit for our growing programme of women’s cricket tours and festivals across Europe, covering both hard-ball and soft-ball cricket.
‘Together, we want to give female cricketers more than the opportunity to play cricket overseas. We want to help create experiences where players feel confident, comfortable and proud, both on and off the field. Through this partnership, we look forward to supporting more women and girls in experiencing international cricket, building friendships, creating lasting memories and enjoying everything that overseas cricket has to offer.
‘This is a partnership built around one simple goal: supporting, celebrating and growing women’s cricket. We are excited about what we can achieve together and look forward to welcoming even more female cricketers on tour across Europe.’
A Partnership With More To Offer
The training top is the starting point. Clubs can also explore the wider Lacuna range for their tours, from shorts and hoodies to additional tour kit that complements the top. Every piece is designed around the realities of women’s cricket, whether you need it for training, the pitch, travelling or everything in between.
This is the start of a partnership that we hope will create even more opportunities and memorable experiences for women and girls throughout their time in the game.
