'Waving The Flag, Hopefully We Get More': Keightley On Being The Only Female Head Coach In Women's Hundred
Manchester Super Giants: At the inaugural Women’s Hundred auction, where record-breaking sums were exchanged and the spotlight was firmly on players, MI London head coach Lisa Keightley stood out for a different reason: she was the only woman occupying a coaching role.
With extensive experience leading teams across Australia, England, and franchises in the Women’s Big Bash and the Women's Premier League, Keightley is no stranger to high-pressure environments. Yet, as the auction unfolded, the absence of other female head coaches was impossible to ignore.
"It's really changing fast, isn't it? And I suppose the three powerhouses - India, England, and Australia - having a very competitive T20 competitions - it's really driving the women's space and the pay equity. We're not there, but it's moving and it's moving pretty fast, so that's really good,” Keightley told ESPNcricinfo.
