Basically the ECB will throw more money at them if they do - I suggested she said to him to start some taster sessions and see what the response was….let’s see…)
NDWDave Aug 2024 12:13pm, 22 Aug 2024 19,925 posts	Quote Pin NDWDave Miss NDW goes to a girls school and this summer they installed some artificial wickets on one of the fields. They still play some rounders but cricket has taken over as one of the main sports. I suspect there will be a lot more girls playing in 5-10 years time
