For many decades, women and girls' cricket has been
under-represented, under-financed, undervalued and lacking in true
organisation. Despite this, many thousands of female players over
the years have fought against the barriers, developed their skills
and fallen in love with this incredible sport. Recent years have
seen an explosion of female participation, broadcast coverage, new
teams, new clubs, new competitions and an undeniable sense that
women and girls' cricket is establishing itself as the most
significant growth area of the game. We've seen full houses at
Lords and the MCG, we've seen the success of the Hundred, the
Women's Big Bash, the prospect of a Women's IPL and most
importantly, thousands of new players across the world benefitting
from everything cricket has to offer. What is needed now, is to
build on these successes, to provide resources and information for
clubs, schools and coaches to start, to grow and to coach their own
programmes. This book is the answer. Lydia Greenway has written a
full guide on coaching, administration, formats, techniques, EDI
and more. Packed with practical advice, the book has original
contributions from some of the most influential players,
administrators, coaches and broadcasters in the world, including:
Charlotte Edwards, Alyssa Healy, Heather Knight, Kate Cross, Ebony
Rainford-Brent, Henry Moeran, Nat Sciver, Isa Guha, Lisa Sthalekar,
Mel Jones, Lisa Keightley, Alex Hartley, Clare Connor, Ali
Mitchell, Charles Dagnall, Katherine Brunt, Amy Jones and more.
