We have been building momentum around the women&rsquo;s game for the last four years investing in global broadcast coverage and marketing to drive fan engagement.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/admin.cricketnmore.com\/assets\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Womens-Cricket-plan-lg.jpg\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;The results speak for themselves with the ICC Women&rsquo;s T20 World Cup 2020 attracting record numbers, 1.1 billion video views, making it the most watched women&rsquo;s cricket event of all time and having 86,174 fans attending the final at the MCG, a record attendance for a women&rsquo;s cricket event.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&ldquo;This decision to expand our women&rsquo;s events builds on these foundations and allows us to give more member countries greater opportunities to compete on a global stage. This means that more teams will also get the opportunity to compete in the qualification pathways for the respective ICC events over the coming years. I am sure these initiatives will go a long way in helping us achieve our strategic goal of continuing to build strength and depth in the women&rsquo;s game.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n",
