England Women’s national team cricketers will now be paid the same match fees as their male counterparts, marking a significant advancement. Notably, the increase in match payments will become effective with England’s first Twenty20 international match against Sri Lanka, which is set to start on Thursday, August 31.

It is noteworthy that during the seven Ashes matches, the women’s national team drew a record-breaking crowd of more than 110,000 spectators. According to a report, the multi-format Ashes series broke attendance records, including the sold-out ODI series, with a total increase in ticket sales of more than 200% since 2019.

throughout addition, discrimination appeared to be “widespread” throughout English and Welsh cricket, according to the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) study. The ECB made the decision to advance and give an equivalent match price raise in response to the ICEC report and the spike in interest in the women’s games.

The apex body formerly compensated female cricket players 20.6% of what their male counterparts received in compensation. The captain of the England Women, Heather Knight, expressed her satisfaction with the ECB’s decision and said it will help the game expand.

“It’s crucial that we keep advancing women’s soccer, and it’s wonderful to see equal match fees for England Men and Women. According to Heather Knight, who was quoted by ESPNcricinfo, “the direction of travel for the women’s game has always been the most important thing, creating a sustainable product that people want to watch and play.”

“And as we continue to grow the game, I’m confident this will make cricket a sport that ladies and young women find more and more appealing. Additionally, I want to thank the PCA and the England Women’s Player Partnership for helping to represent the players and advance the professional game.

The ECB has also established goals for achieving pay equality for domestic workers by 2029 and for foreign workers by 2030. In the meantime, Heather Knight and company will begin their three T20Is and as many ODIs versus Sri Lanka multi-format series.

The veteran Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin thinks it will be difficult to defeat Pakistan in both the current Asia Cup and the upcoming ODI World Cup, which will start on October 5 in Ahmedabad. Babar Azam’s team just defeated Afghanistan 3-0 in an ODI series, and as a result, they are currently ranked as the world’s best team, demonstrating the talent that the Men in Green have.

Ashwin praised them for being outstanding in white-ball cricket and said the side could be very dangerous if Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan can maintain their level of play over the next three months. He continued by saying that the squad’s vast depth will be beneficial to the team going forward.

“Pakistan will have a great team going into this Asia Cup and the World Cup if Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan continuously provide performances with the bat. Pakistan has an amazing team, thus it will be difficult to defeat them. It all depends on how deep their (Pakistan’s) squad is. “Pakistan has consistently produced outstanding cricketers,” Ashwin wrote on his YouTube account.

After the Mysuru Warriors asked them to bat in the all-important title match, opener Md. Taha (72 off 40 balls) and KL Shrijith (38), made sure there wasn’t a shortage of runs in the powerplay by scoring 59 runs in the six overs with seven fours and two sixes. This was despite the fact that Luvnith Sisodia was out without scoring on the second ball.

After KL Shrijith had scored 38 runs off 31 balls, the 89-run partnership that had been established was ended by Jagadeesha Suchith in the 12th over.

Europe, 30 August 2023: The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 Trophy Tour raced through Europe, leaving a trail of excitement and unification in its wake, as it continued to attract the attention of cricket fans. This phase of the tour, which included visits in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, highlighted cricket’s attractiveness on a worldwide scale and announced the impending ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.

The Trophy was welcomed onto the track at the Dutch Grand Prix, where captain Scott Edwards presented it on the starting grid amid a sea of fervent Dutch Formula 1 fans, following the Netherlands’ recent dramatic qualification campaign that culminated in their first Cricket World Cup berth since 2011.

The Trophy not only traveled to famous Dutch locations, but also went to a domestic final match. Before the Netherlands were declared champions in front of the Trophy and cricketing greats, national heroes Edwards, Max O’Dowd, and Aryan Dutt led a clinic for young players during the day-long cricket festival.

One of the greatest pacers India has ever produced is former international Zaheer Khan. The left-arm bowler has played for the national side in 92 Test matches, taking 311 wickets in the process, and has played in 200 ODI matches, taking 282 wickets. He was a key contributor to India‘s victory in the 2011 ODI World Cup and has generally proven to be a formidable opponent on both the national and international stages.

Ishant Sharma, who has participated in 105 Test matches, stated that Zaheer had a significant influence on him when he was playing. Ishant first had some difficulty when the 44-year-old instructed him to hold the ball between the tips of his two fingers at the beginning of his career. Ishant’s bowling style was altered as a result, and this may have contributed to him taking 311 Test wickets, the same number as Zaheer. He praised the former cricketer as a result and mentioned Zaheer’s lethal reverse swing very briefly.

Agar said that his most recent setback is unfortunate because his body was feeling strong and he was in fantastic form during the preseason camp. He continued by saying that the spinner intends to play with 100% energy in the ODI series against the Proteas because his rehabilitation is doing nicely.

It was extremely regrettable. In the preseason, I was performing excellently, and my body felt great. I feel quite healthy. and regrettably suffered a small tear in that calf. But the rehabilitation has been excellent. In Western Australia, we have excellent physiotherapists on staff, and we have been collaborating closely with them every day. At the WACA, I’ve now completed a few full-intensity sessions. Therefore, I believe I’ll be capable of giving 100% effort during an ODI, Agar told ESPNcricinfo.
