ICC Women’s Cricket Week will run as an annual event, with a vision to significantly enhance the visibility, profile, and participation of women in cricket around the world.
ICC Chairman Jay Shah praised the initiative, which was endorsed by both the ICC Women’s Cricket Committee and the ICC Chief Executives’ Committee earlier this year.
“This year has already marked a turning point for women’s cricket, with record-breaking crowds, landmark performances, and an unmistakable sense of momentum building around the game,” Shah said.
“The launch of the ICC Women’s Cricket Week is another proud milestone, a celebration not just of the players on the world stage, but of every girl picking up a bat or ball, dreaming of what’s possible. It gives our Members, from Full to Associate, a meaningful opportunity to participate in the global narrative and shape the future of the women’s game in their own communities.”
