Indian Female Cricketers Created History: Won U19 T20 World Cup 2023

India was crowned the first-ever ICC Women's T20 World Cup. The Indian team, led by Shafali Verma, prevailed against the English side by seven wickets.

On Sunday at the Senwes Park stadium in South Africa, the Indian U19 Women's cricket team made history by winning their match. India became the first women's Indian cricket team to win a world championship after defeating England in the final of the Women’s T20 World Cup by a score of seven wickets.

The India captain, Shafali Verma, got her team off to a great start in their quest to win the world cup by blasting a magnificent four off Hannah Baker's ball. The target was 69. Baker then provided a significant advantage for her team when she eliminated Shafali for 15 off 11 points. Bowlers from England attempted to regain control of the game.

England skipper Grace Scrivens dismissed dangerous batter Shweta Sehrawat for a score of five runs in six balls. The next batter to step up to the plate was Gongadi Trisha. While Trisha took on the anchor role, Soumya Tiwari was responsible for maintaining some assertive boundaries.

After the first ten overs, India needed to score 21 runs in the remaining 60 balls to win. After that, Gongadi Trisha opened her hands and proceeded to hammer Ellie Anderson with back-to-back two fours. Alexa Stonehouse got rid of the hitter Gongadi Trisha in the 13th innings by dismissing her for 24 runs off 29 deliveries.

Indian bowlers could completely take control of the game from the beginning of the top match against England, which they won by opting to field first. Liberty Heap, the first batter for England, was run out by Titas Sadhu for a duck on the second delivery of the innings, giving India their first wicket.

Grace Scrivens and Niamh Fiona Holland, who were playing some boundary shots together, attempted to cope with the pressure while doing so. However, Holland could not maintain her position on the crease for too long before being sent back to the pavilion. After Holland's wicket, the English batters could not maintain their ground for very long.

Finally they lost their wickets at regular intervals in the face of the fantastic bowling performance put on by the Indian bowlers. India took the initiative early on by bowling the first ball of the match. They frequently struck the England Women's Under-19 team and ultimately bowled them out for 68 runs.

The Final Showdown Performance Of The Indian U19 Women's Cricket Team

The bowlers were essential to the success of the team. In the first over, Sadhu removed the potentially dangerous Liberty Heap, which resulted in the opener spooning an easy return catch. The off-spinner Archana Devi then dealt a further blow to England by claiming the wickets of Grace Scrivens and Niamh Holland inside a single over space.

The main cause of Scrivens' demise was an outstanding catch made by Trisha at long-off, and she took the blame. The England Under-19 team was bowled out in the 18th over, even though wickets continued to fall at regular intervals throughout the innings. In the end, England's relatively low score had to be enough along the lines that had been expected.

Gongadi Trisha and Soumya Tiwari scored crucial goals as India sealed the Women's Under-19 World Cup with a spectacular seven-wicket triumph over England Under-19. Titas Sadhu, Archana Devi, and Parshavi Chopra each got two wickets in the match. India had already lost Shafali Verma and Shweta Sehrawat at the end of the fourth over.

Trisha and Tiwari worked together to sew a stand of 46, which more or less cemented the business transaction. To keep the scoring moving forward, the duo completed the drive, the flip, and the cut. Tiwari was also spared because she was let off the hook by being dropped off at Hannah Barker's house.

In the 13th over, the left-arm medium pacer Alex Stonehouse was responsible for Trisha's dismissal. Tiwari got a double, and a single in the next over that Barker delivered, allowing India to move their score higher than England's. At Potchefstroom, the celebrations were in full swing as Shafali, and the rest of her team raced onto the field to celebrate their victory.

Whole Fraternity Congratulated The Indian U19 Women Cricket Team

The cricket community congratulated the Indian U19 Women's Cricket team on winning the first-ever ICC Women's U19 World Cup. The captain of the India team, Rohit Sharma, along with other seasoned players, including Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly, and others, praised the performance of the India eves.

Virat Kohli, expressed his admiration for the Indian team on social media. He wrote, "Champion of the Under-19 World Cup! What a memorable instant it was! I'd like to offer my congratulations to you, ladies, on your victory." Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Shafali Verma and the rest of the team for their remarkable victory.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced that the team and the personnel would receive an award worth 5 crores. He commented, "Women's Cricket in India is increasing, and the World Cup victory has raised the prominence of women's cricket several notches higher." It refers to India's women's cricket team recently winning the ICC Women’s U19 World Cup 2023.

Final Thoughts

The Indian U19 women's cricket team has truly demonstrated their skill and determination by winning the U19 Women's World Cup 2023. The players have shown remarkable sportsmanship and teamwork, bringing their A-game to the field and making India proud. The Indian women cricketers have made a mark on the world stage.

Their unwavering passion for the sport and fierce competitiveness has inspired a generation of young girls to take up cricket and follow in their footsteps. It is a testament to the growth and development of women's cricket in India, and we can only expect greater achievements in the future. We are thrilled to see them bring home the trophy.

The future of the French international women’s cricket team is in doubt after 17 players called for an investigation into allegations that its governing body staged fake matches to secure funding from the International Cricket Council. With cricket set to become an Olympic sport after the 2024 Paris Games, FRANCE 24 looked at the reasons behind the team's collapse.

Tara Britton turned up to training, held every Thursday for the men’s and women’s French national cricket teams, last November 16 as scheduled. It wasn’t a big turnout for the women’s side, as she was one of only two who showed.

A day earlier, she had joined 16 of her national side teammates in signing an open letter calling for an official investigation into France Cricket following allegations published by FRANCE 24 in November, including that the governing body was staging fake women’s matches to access more funding from the International Cricket Council (ICC).

“If the allegations are true, we condemn the actions as outrageous and, as players of the national Women’s team, we wish to strongly and firmly dissociate ourselves from the behaviour and actions of France Cricket,” the letter read.

France Cricket’s sporting director Saravana Durairaj arrived at the track in the 15th arrondissement (district) of Paris as they finished their session, Britton recounted.

Durairaj, who was recently made CEO of the association, had coached the women through the highs and lows of international tournaments since 2019. Their greatest success: promotion to Division One of the ICC 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier, beating Sweden, Turkey, Jersey and Germany along the way.

That was the pinnacle of French women’s cricket, which has now arrived at its nadir.

“He told us, ‘You’re not welcome anymore’ – that we’re suspended,” said Britton, a wicket-keeper and right-handed batter who has played 29 matches for France. “He was visibly quite angry. He wouldn't let us say anything, wouldn’t let us explain our side. He was basically saying he was disappointed in us. He felt let down that – after all the time and effort he put into us – that we have treated him like this.”

It is against France Cricket rules for national team players to criticise the governing body publicly at risk of being “excluded from the French national team”, reads a code of conduct signed by players.

“We dared to say that we knew there were some problems within the federation,” said Lara Armas, a left-handed batter who, like Britton, debuted in 2021. “Can you really say that that is criticism? It’s factual.”

From 2019 to 2023, Armas was on France Cricket’s committee and was appointed head of their commission for the women’s game.

“We didn’t accuse anyone in particular. We didn’t name anyone, we simply asked for clarifications,” said Magali Marchello-Nizia, a right-arm bowler who made her debut in 2019.

The team made France Cricket aware they were going to publish the letter before they did so. “Some of us were even pressured by France Cricket not to publish anything. You could even qualify some of these as threats,” said Alix Brodin, a left-handed batter who debuted after the Covid-19 pandemic.

Asked what exactly was threatened, Armas recalled that Durairaj told one of the players, “If you do that, I can’t protect you anymore.”

Contacted by FRANCE 24, Durairaj said that a decision about the women’s team would be published in May. He did not respond to more detailed allegations.

‘No communication’

Without any further communication from their governing body, players were removed from WhatsApp groups involving them. On November 19, they found out – via social media – that they would no longer be participating in the inaugural Women’s European Cricket Championship, scheduled to begin less than a month later on December 17.

The organisers, the European Cricket Network (ECN), announced that a team from England would be replacing France at the tournament in Malaga involving the national sides of Spain, the Netherlands, Italy and Austria.

“In a recent development, the French Cricket Federation, Association Française de Cricket, has unfortunately withdrawn their team’s participation,” read a press release. ECN declined to comment further.

“I’ve received no email, no communication from France Cricket explaining anything at all,” said Brodin.

Word spread in January that the women could only apply to be part of the national team this year if they apologised.

“We’ve done nothing wrong,” said Armas. “I’m not apologising for saying, ‘There’s an investigation going on, I want the truth’.”

To this day, the only written communication the women’s national team has received from France Cricket was an email sent on March 1 asking each of them to return their uniforms “for logistical reasons”.

Shut up and play cricket

FRANCE 24’s investigation last November raised questions over whether France was eligible to participate in ICC tournaments as it has done since 2021, given the difficulty of proving that the country has the requisite minimum of eight domestic women’s teams “competing in a minimum of five hard-ball matches for the previous two years”, as per ICC rules.

Players acknowledged having their suspicions.

“It’s always the same three or four clubs that provide women’s national team players,” said Brodin. “We know very well that what’s been written is true, we just never went looking for proof.”

Several said their decision to take part regardless came down to the lack of other opportunities to play cricket. Even for the women’s first division, for instance, only three match days were organised last season.

“The dilemma we’re faced with is absolutely unjust,” said all-rounder Poppy McGeown, who played 27 matches for France. “In France there are very few opportunities to play … either you shut your mouth and play cricket, or you decide to take a more ethical approach and speak up to condemn things that you find unfair or illegal, and that comes with being kicked out of the team.”

“You have to choose between the sport you love and the values you hold dear. So for two years I closed my eyes, and I’m not particularly proud of it,” she said.

Armas said she also turned a blind eye.

“I was egotistical,” she said. “I wanted to play, so yes, I did close my eyes on some things. I have to say thank you to all those girls who didn’t.”

More evidence of ‘ghost matches’

The women’s first- and second-division tournaments have disappeared from France Cricket’s plans for this year, replaced by a “France Women’s Cup” featuring 10 teams due to kick off this Saturday, April 13.

Out of the four first-division teams from last year, only Lille Cricket Club and Paris Université Club are slated to participate, with Nantes Cricket Club not renewing its affiliation with France Cricket in the wake of the scandal and Lisses Cricket Club planning to do the same for its women’s team.

The other eight clubs include seven from last year’s Division Two, which was the subject of November’s FRANCE 24 report.

Since its publication, more evidence of irregularities in this division has come to light.

On April 16, six Division Two matches were scheduled to take place on Chantilly cricket ground. All six were subsequently rubber-stamped as having taken place by France Cricket’s sporting commission.

Edward Hoyle, captain of Chantilly Cricket Club, said he arrived just before 2pm to renovate the wicket, only to be told a women’s match was about to start.

“That match did take place, but it was all over in 20 minutes. That’s 10 minutes an innings,” recalled Hoyle. “Whether that constitutes a match or not, I don’t know.”

Once the short match was over, Hoyle proceeded to strip and relay the wicket, a process that took several hours.

It is clear that the fourth, fifth and sixth matches did not happen at the time and place for which they were certified.

In its response to FRANCE 24’s November report on women’s ghost matches, France Cricket said “the results shown on its website are those communicated via the match reports handed in by the umpires at the end of each match”.

The chair of one of the clubs that was responsible for umpiring on April 16 denied his club was involved in matches that did not actually take place. He said he had delegated responsibility for the women’s team to the club captain and wasn’t aware of specific events that day.

When asked how his club planned to field a women's team this year, he acknowledged it would be a challenge. “We have women’s teams, but they’re students – you have to organise it during school holidays. It’s a bit difficult.”

France Cricket did not respond to a request for comment.

On November 16, Nantes Cricket Club sent a request to state prosecutors and police asking for an investigation into alleged fraudulent activity by the association.

In April 2022, the Versailles public prosecutor dismissed defamation charges brought by France Cricket against Hoyle, which he said were brought after he wrote a letter to clubs criticising the organisation.

“The ICC has investigated the allegations in relation to France Cricket and are satisfied that the issue is now closed,” a spokesperson for the sport's global administrator told Alison Mitchell of the BBC’s "Stumped" podcast. “Each Member is wholly responsible for the participation data that is submitted per the census and accuracy of these records remains of utmost importance and are audited by the ICC.”

From New Caledonia with cricketers

During a meeting with the France Cricket board while she was head of the women’s commission, Armas recalled pushing for a recognition of the reality on the ground. “Come on, among us we can admit it,” she said. “There are only four women’s teams in cricket. We know there are only four teams in Division One, and Division Two is fake.”

In response, she recalled, “I was almost insulted. Like, ‘How can you say this?’ I got shut down badly.”

She also remembered conversations with Durairaj in which he shared his conviction that the way to develop women’s cricket in France was not via domestic competitions, but “to have a strong national team”.

But now, France Cricket must assemble an entirely new one – notably ahead of another ECN tournament in December to which France has been invited, according to one source, but not confirmed by ECN.

The governing body emailed clubs on January 16 asking for candidates for both national teams, but none of the previous women’s squad who spoke to FRANCE 24 have put their names forward.

One avenue that France Cricket is exploring to bolster its women’s team lies far from the French mainland, in New Caledonia. A traditional form of cricket, played mostly by indigenous Kanak women, has been popular in the French overseas territory since the sport was introduced by English missionaries.

France Cricket chairman Prebagarane Balane visited the southwest Pacific islands in March, accompanied by Durairaj, where he signed an agreement with New Caledonia’s sports minister Mickaël Forrest and cricket committee head Jean-Marc Ihily. The deal obliges the committee to register all of its players with France Cricket by August 31, which could add some 3,000 to the 1,800 players that the association currently claims are on its books.

It also grants France Cricket the right to call up players in New Caledonia for the French national team, but not if they play the non-standard form of the game.

On March 30, at France Cricket’s annual general meeting at their office in Saint-Maurice near Paris, Balane was joined by Ihily in person to announce plans for a women’s tournament in Nouméa, the capital of New Caledonia, this September. Balane stressed the importance of recruitment ahead of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup in India.

Marchello-Nizia said that two years ago, Durairaj told her about looking to New Caledonia for potential women’s national team players. “Things might have accelerated, given recent developments,” she said.

Death of a national team?

Asked if the current national team was dead, Britton was equivocal. “The team obviously doesn't stop with us. But as far as the players are concerned, I feel like we've been asked not to come back.”

McGeown lamented the state of French cricket. “When you have the honour and pride of playing for your country, no matter what the sport, it’s a huge motivator. And now we’ve lost it because we’re not ready to play as part of this system.”

BCCI’s Lollipop to the IOC - Turning Cricket into a Global Sport

Cricket, a sport with a staggering fan base of 2.5 billion people worldwide (According to Sport Pledge) is making significant strides towards Olympic inclusion. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been actively pushing for cricket's inclusion in the Olympic Games, with the ambition to debut at the LA28 Games. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), led by Jay Shah, has played a pivotal role in this endeavor. The Sportwiz explores the journey of cricket towards becoming a global sport, driven by the aspirations of the ICC and the strategic efforts of the BCCI.

source - IOC

Cricket has been making notable appearances in various multi-sport events, such as the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022 and the Asian Games in 2010, 2014, and the upcoming 2023 edition in Hangzhou, Even this years African Games hosted in Ghana will consist of cricket where it will be played in the T20 format. These inclusions highlight the growing recognition and acceptance of cricket as a global sport.

source - ICC

The question arises: Does the Olympics need cricket, or does cricket need the Olympics? Cricket's immense popularity, with a fan base of 2.5 billion people and its status as the second most-watched sport globally, demonstrates the sport's strength and appeal. However, Olympic inclusion would provide an unparalleled platform for cricket to reach new audiences and further boost its global recognition.

source - business today

The ICC's bid for Olympic inclusion emphasized the massive viewership cricket attracts. The 2022 T20 World Cup garnered a staggering 1.2 billion unique viewers globally. Additionally, the 2020 Women's World Cup saw 89 million viewers tuning in, showcasing the increasing popularity of women's cricket. These statistics exemplify cricket's potential as a major draw for broadcasters, sponsors, and fans alike.

India's significance as a cricket powerhouse cannot be overlooked. The country accounts for a substantial portion of cricket's global viewership, with 76% of the 113.5 million viewing hours recorded during major tournaments coming from India. The BCCI, backed by India's massive cricket market, has offered the International Olympic Committee (IOC) a chance to tap into this unique viewership, potentially elevating the Olympic Games' viewership in the Indian subcontinent.

source - InsideSport.in

The BCCI's main revenue stream, broadcasting rights, presents a compelling proposition for the IOC. Currently held by JIO and Viacom 18 for $31 million, these rights contribute to the ongoing profits of the Olympics. If cricket is included in the Olympics, the ICC estimates potential revenue of $130-260 million. These figures highlight the financial gains that could be achieved through cricket's Olympic participation.

The number $31 million USD is larger than the previous years in terms of Olympics in India but if we compare it to a similar number showcasing the money that’s involved in cricket, in the next financial cycle of the BCCI the Pakistan Cricket board ( PCB ) who hold a share of 5.75% is approximately valued at $34.5 million USD.

PCB Chairperson Mr Najam Sethi

source - The Express Tribune

Cricket's economic value has witnessed a remarkable surge, as evidenced by the 300% increase in media rights value for ICC and IPL. The media rights for ICC and IPL soared from ₹16,347 crores to a staggering ₹48,390 crores. This exponential growth further solidifies cricket's position as a lucrative sporting asset.

source - Sportskeeda

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) now ranked as the second most valued sporting league globally, cricket's future looks promising. The IPL's substantial viewership of 380 million domestic TV viewers in the 2021 season and cumulative viewership of 383 billion minutes for the 2020 campaign across TV and digital platforms indicate cricket's enormous potential according to Jay Shah. As cricket continues to captivate audiences, its inclusion in the Olympics could propel the sport to new heights.

The bid to include cricket in the Olympics is anticipated to be decided in the final session of the IOC, scheduled to take place in Mumbai in October. Brisbane 2032 Olympics presents a realistic opportunity for cricket's inclusion, given Australia's cricketing heritage. Surprisingly, Los Angeles may also be a potential host, thanks to the approval of the bid by former Mayor Eric Garcetti, now the US Ambassador to India, fostering stronger relations between India and the USA.

Cricket's journey towards becoming a global sport is gaining momentum, with the ICC and BCCI leading the way. The sport's immense viewership, economic value, and potential for growth make it an attractive addition to the Olympic Games. As the IOC contemplates cricket's inclusion, the world awaits a decision that could redefine the sport and pave the way for a future where cricket becomes truly global.

Australia Postpones Afghanistan Cricket Tour: Taking a Stand Against Human Rights Issues

In a move that underscores the importance of human rights in international sports, Cricket Australia (CA) has announced the postponement of the three-match T20 International series against Afghanistan, originally scheduled for August. This decision comes amidst ongoing concerns regarding the deteriorating conditions for women and girls in Afghanistan.

The postponement follows a pattern of principled stances taken by Cricket Australia in response to human rights issues in Afghanistan. Back in January 2023, CA postponed an ODI series for similar reasons, citing the Taliban’s imposition of restrictions on women and girls’ education and employment. The decision reflects CA’s commitment to advocating for improved conditions for women and girls in Afghanistan.

Consultation with the Australian Government has been integral to CA’s decision-making process. Government advice indicates a worsening situation for women and girls in Afghanistan, leading CA to maintain its position and postpone the bilateral series. This aligns with CA’s previous statement, emphasizing the importance of engaging with the Afghanistan Cricket Board with the hope of fostering positive change.

The impact of CA’s decision extends beyond the realm of cricket, resonating with Afghan players who have voiced their disappointment. Senior star Rashid Khan expressed his disappointment, highlighting the setback this decision poses to Afghanistan’s progress on the world stage. Former captain Mohammad Nabi echoed Rashid’s sentiments, emphasizing the message of resilience and equality that cricket represents for Afghanistan.

The postponement comes on the heels of Australia and Afghanistan’s intense clash during the 2023 ODI World Cup, where Afghanistan nearly caused an upset against the eventual winners. This highlights the significance of cricket as a platform for unity and competition, transcending boundaries and cultures.

As discussions surrounding human rights continue to shape global discourse, Cricket Australia’s decision serves as a reminder of the pivotal role sports can play in advocating for social change. By prioritizing principles over fixtures, CA sends a powerful message that extends far beyond the boundaries of the cricket pitch

In the match between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League (WPL 2024)

In the match between Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League (WPL 2024), held on Tuesday in Delhi, pace bowler Shabnim Ismail of Mumbai Indians set the record for the fastest delivery in women's cricket, surpassing the barrier of 130 kilometers per hour. Ismail delivered a lightning-quick ball at 132.1 kilometers per hour, breaking the speed record in women's cricket.

During the third over of the match, Ismail's full delivery struck Capitals' captain Meg Lanning before the umpire intervened, as MI appealed for leg-before-wicket. This impressive feat comes after Ismail had previously clocked 128.3 kilometers per hour during the inaugural match of the WPL 2024 season against Delhi Capitals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

After missing several matches, Ismail returned to the eleven and made an impact, taking a wicket in a four-over spell and conceding 46 runs. Capitals managed to score 192 runs for the loss of four wickets in their twenty overs, securing a narrow victory over Mumbai Indians by 29 runs.

Apart from her domestic success, Ismail also holds the record for the fastest delivery in international women's cricket. Before her recent achievement in 2024, she had surpassed the 127 kilometers per hour mark during the 2022 ICC Women's World Cup, exceeding the previous record set in 2016 against the West Indies with a delivery at 128 kilometers per hour. Additionally, in the 2023 Women's T20 World Cup, Ismail led South Africa's bowling attack with consistently rapid deliveries, registering speeds of 119, 122, 126, 120, 125, and 128 kilometers per hour in a single over against England, considered among the fastest overs in women's cricket history.

Ismail retired from international cricket in May 2023 after the T20 World Cup, ending a 16-year career during which she played 241 international matches and claimed 317 wickets across formats. She remains the second-highest wicket-taker in women's ODIs (191) and has led South Africa's T20I bowling charts with 123 wickets.
