\u201cWith the capacity that the BCCI has, they\u2019ll be able to make it even grander. It was an outstanding display by the Indian women. Congratulations from our side. The more support the women\u2019s game gets, the better it will be. Pakistan\u2019s situation is difficult right now; many girls face restrictions from their families. It might happen in India too in some places, but this victory will help improve that situation,\u201d Latid told IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a huge win, and coincidentally, the timing was such that I got to watch it live. It\u2019s a big victory for India because men\u2019s cricket has always dominated the spotlight. Now, even the big names were watching and were present there \u2014 Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, both massive stars. This will help in bringing Indian women\u2019s cricket onto a larger canvas. This is just the beginning. They\u2019ve won the World Cup, but now they\u2019ll have to achieve even bigger things. It shouldn\u2019t be a one-off success,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
