What are the challenges faced by female cricketers today?

  • Well, for starters, parents do not let their daughters play sports to prevent distractions from their studies.
  • Female cricket enthusiasts have a tough time reaching out to cricket clubs/academies near their locality.
  • Lack of female cricket coaches, grounds and infrastructure are simply adding to the existing challenges.

We know that there are enough talented female cricketers who want to pursue their dream of playing cricket, and who just want to stick to the game for the love of it. Unfortunately, most of them are having a difficult time doing so.

We found out that the lack of knowledge and awareness was one of the major reasons that were proving to be an obstacle to the overall female cricket community.

To overcome this obstacle, we founded Female Cricket

Our platform gives cricket followers all over the world access to live and the latest happenings along with the most relevant and important resources needed to develop their game.

Female Cricket’s vision?

We want to make FemaleCricket.com a platform that enriches and encourages female cricketers across the globe to take up cricket and share and promote this beautiful game.

This will positively impact the ecosystem by raising the profile of women’s cricket internationally. We envision FemaleCricket.com as a platform that revolves around 3 basic goals:

1. Promoting, highlighting and sharing news, cricket stories, and articles from our women who have made it big in the sport through sheer determination.
2. Celebrating cricket memories and inspiring young enthusiasts to become a part of this positive, healthy ecosystem.
3. Delivering quality and relevant resources using content as a medium to nurture one’s game.

Challenges that Female Cricket addresses?

We believe that our female cricket ecosystem is full of talents and opportunities, but lack of exposure, awareness has done more harm than anything else to this sport.

We, through FemaleCricket.com, want to unveil these hidden talents, nurture them and turn them into rising stars and the next generation’s role models. To further this vision of ours, we have started our cricket academy exclusively for girls. At the moment, the academy has one branch in Mumbai’s Shivaji Park. We intend to have more such centers in other parts of India.

Other challenges that Female Cricket wishes to address in the coming years

* There are not enough cricket matches for girls.
* There’s not enough dedicated female cricket clubs and academies.
* There’s not enough awareness around women’s cricket.
* There’s not enough motivation at the grass-root level for girls.

Through this initiative, we wish to share and celebrate the positives in the community by highlighting women’s involvement in cricket and the difference they make to our society.

About Female Cricket

One of the core objectives of our upcoming events and tournaments is to create awareness about women’s social and practical issues, such as domestic violence, lack of education and health practices.

We believe that cricket can be used as an essential medium to drive positive awareness and throw away these aforementioned negative elements from society.

Female Cricket’s mission?

Our mission is to make FemaleCricket.com a one-stop solution for all the needs of a female cricketer, right from the standard sports equipment to cricket coaches, to cricket matches and sponsorship for deserving talents. In this endeavor, we have partnered with a UK based NGO that sponsors us with cricket equipment every year.

Founder of Female Cricket

Mr. Vishal Yadav (Founder & CEO)

A die-hard cricket fan based in Mumbai who grew up watching the greats like Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni wanted to pursue career in cricket journalism. After interacting and interviewing over 100+ national cricketers from over 90+ cricket playing countries around the world, he met with a sad reality, a reality that sparked an idea, a revolution. Vishal realized that women’s cricket is equally popular, especially in Associate and Affiliate ICC nations, but nobody was talking about it. India, where cricket is not just a sport, but religion too had a huge disparity between men and women’s cricket. Vishal wanted to bridge this gap and this led to the foundation of “Female Cricket” to channelize his love, passion, and emotions for the game of women’s cricket.
