<p><strong><em>Getting Out</em> is the story of how Ukraine''s cricketers helped the people around them to escape from Russia''s invasion in 2022, including first-hand accounts of the war.</strong></p><p><strong>?</strong>Cricket in Ukraine had a surprising and eccentric history. But when the bombings started, these cricketers found themselves in a fight for their lives as they rushed to the front lines to defend their country.</p><p>Meanwhile, some Ukrainian refugees had an altogether different battle as they began to play cricket in a park in southern Europe, and fought to keep their country¿s cricketing heritage alive.</p><p>As well as eyewitness accounts of the first days of the war, the book holds many light-hearted stories ¿ from the team where no one wanted to bat or bowl, to the biofuel developer who became Ukraine''s first professional cricketer.</p><p><strong>It¿s a story of courage, determination and hope, both on and off the field. </strong></p>
