When I enrolled on the ECB Umpire Course earlier this year, I never imagined that just a few months later I'd be standing at Headingley, learning from some of the country's leading cricket officials during The Hundred.
Thanks to the ECB Hundred Rising programme and the incredible support of Cheshire ACO, I was fortunate enough to spend an unforgettable day behind the scenes at one of England's premier cricket competitions. It was an experience that has inspired me even more to continue developing as an umpire.
