As A Sports Person, You Should Work Hard And Support Your Parents, Says Simran Shaikh
Mumbai Cricket Association: Growing up in the narrow lanes of Dharavi in Mumbai, one of the world’s largest slums, making a career out of cricket seemed far-fetched for Simran Shaikh, the all-rounder who was roped in by Gujarat Giants for WPL 2025 at a staggering paycheck of Rs 1.9 crore.
Now playing WPL 2025 and after winning the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy title with Mumbai, Simran reflected on International Women’s Day and how female athletes plus the ecosystem around them can help them make the world a better place and excel on the field.
“I would like to say that whatever you do, as a sports person, you should work hard, and support your parents. They will support you a lot. I also feel that there should be more support towards our women's team. Also, people do need to do the needful to fulfill all the facilities women need like washrooms, changing rooms, etc. Fulfill all of that and support us,” said Simran in an exclusive conversation with IANS.
