England's Test match sponsors are putting up the cash for a grant to help increase the level of diversity within cricket's written media.
During next year's Ashes summer LV= will be providing a five month paid internship for a young black journalist to work alongside them as part of their partnership with the ECB as well as shadowing journalists like me in reporting on the game.
And with another bumper summer of cricket to look forward to, it will be the perfect chance for anyone looking for a foothold in the industry to get involved and experience what it is like to cover the best players and the best teams in the world first hand.
