Hopes and dreams from India's World Cup victory.

Me for The Guardian:
India’s World Cup win can set a new world order in women’s cricket – if it spends money wisely
India would do well to remember that Australia’s domination was based on building from the grassroots up

“Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”

My preview of tomorrow’s #CWC25 final between India and South Africa:
India search for perfect end in historic Women’s Cricket World Cup final against South Africa
Hosts have golden chance after years of grind against institutional misogyny but epic, tiring semi-final makes it a big ask

⚽ Can the 2026 FIFA World Cup really be “inclusive”? Discrimination may block fans. Daniela Heerdt (Asser Institute) says respecting rights isn’t protecting them.
📢 Last call to join our online course on gender and human rights in sport to explore these issues further.

Despite a growing number of #Indian #women #athletes asserting themselves on the international stage, there is a lack of women working as support staff, in administration, coaching, or even roles such as a physiotherapist or trainer.
