Ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup, Nasser Hussain looks at England's chances, the rise of India, and South Africa's decision to omit captain Dane van Niekerk on fitness grounds...
Women's cricket has been changing in front of our eyes over the last few years.
We have seen that in global tournaments - there were over 80,000 people at the MCG for the last T20 World Cup final between Australia and India in 2020 - and various domestic competitions like the Hundred where women's cricket has been eye-catching.
That has snowballed. The quality has gone up and names are being created.
Those names are much sought-after by franchise teams and the game-changer is the Women's Premier League in India coming up, which will provide large sums of money if not life-changing sums. Being a women's cricketer is now a viable career and it is about time.
