International Cricket Council: International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Sanjog Gupta said the growth of women’s cricket is a reflection of the country’s progress in many varied ways. Gupta’s comments came on the day ICC marked the 50 days countdown of Women’s ODI World Cup, starting on September 30.
"There is a larger picture here, which has to do with what this means for the country. The growth of women’s cricket, in many ways, is a reflection of the country’s progress. In every sense, the growth of women’s cricket over the last eight years has brought us to this moment where it is time for the game to take its next leap."
"This World Cup can be the springboard for that next leap. World Cups are more than just events; they are apertures for building trans-generational legacies and fostering new cultures," said Gupta on the sidelines of the ’50 days to go’ event on Monday.
