BREAKING: Due to the political situation, ECB are delaying England Women’s departure to Abu Dhabi for their scheduled training camp. It’s possible it may be called off altogether - that’s TBC.
Another potential blow to England’s WC preparation, given they have no bilateral cricket scheduled.
Some clarification about back to back games at the T20 World Cup ⬇️
New episode out now reacting the World Cup fixtures, the many bilateral series happening around the world as well as some of the latest news in women’s cricket

There’s a severe lack of dedicated women’s cricket books but thankfully that void is slowly being filled
Looking forward to reading it (probably when we’re travelling up and down the country for the World Cup) 🏏
Thank you, Tash, for all your hard work over the years. 🙏
Tash has been a trailblazer of the women’s game. An England cricketer at 17, she joined Surrey as part of the South East Stars regional set up in 2020 and has been a crucial part of the team on and off the pitch.
