I can’t wait to call the action from the commentary box and be a part of this amazing tournament.”
Legendary West Indian commentator Ian Bishop, a long-standing advocate for women’s cricket, added, “Women’s cricket has been very close to my heart for quite some time. It is exciting to behold how much the game has evolved – the women cricketers continue to exhibit ever-increasing ingenuity, athleticism, power, and finesse.”
