Players from the men’s and women’s Southern Brave teams have taken over the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.
The squad launched their season by visiting the tower — lit in the team's trademark green — ahead of the opening match at The Ageas Bowl today (Wednesday) as the men's side take on Welsh Fire.
The men are hoping to retain their title after James Vince’s side defeated Birmingham Phoenix, whilst Anya Shrubsole’s team will be aiming to go one step further after making the final in 2021.
Vince and Shrubsole were joined by an array of players from both sides, including Sussex stars Tymal Mills, George Garton, Georgia Adams, Tara Norris and Paige Scholfield.
