Sutherland Calls For More Women’s Games At Big Stadiums
Belinda Clark Award: Fresh off winning the Belinda Clark Award, Annabel Sutherland has advocated for more women’s matches at major stadiums, citing the record-breaking attendance at the recent Ashes Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) as proof that the all-conquering Australian team deserves to play on the biggest stages.
The 23-year-old all-rounder, who smashed the first women’s century in an Ashes Test last weekend, capped off a remarkable year by receiving Australian women’s cricket’s top individual honour. Her stunning performances over the past 12 months included a historic Test double century and a key role in Australia’s dominant 16-0 Ashes triumph over England—the first whitewash in more than a decade.
Sutherland expressed hope that the success of the MCG Test would spark a shift towards hosting more women’s matches at iconic venues like the MCG and SCG. "Hopefully, the game at the MCG sparks a bit of change and we can launch off what was a really great event," Sutherland was quoted by news.com.au as saying.
