The DP World ILT20 Tournament has come to a close, and we’ve had a chance to rest and recover after a rollercoaster of a tournament. For me, it was my first ever experience working within a sporting environment, and the range of emotions I felt was something that I’ve never experienced before.
We achieved some notable successes when it comes to our efforts to show a new approach to water and single use plastic in cricket.
