Confirmation that West Indies women's planned Test against Australia, which had been agreed upon in the FTP, and would have been their first match in the format since 2004 - will not take place.

Throws major doubt on their Tests pencilled into the FTP against ENG in 2027 and SA in 2028.

Really enjoyed being part of a Q&A panel at #CRN2026 with Laura Entwistle (ECB) & Laura MacLeod.

We were meant to be discussing the World Cup & its (hopeful) legacies, but got a bit sidetracked into a debate about governance / women's cricket running itself (guess which side I was on)! πŸ˜‚

Someone needs to explain that Americans can’t make cheese (or chocolate)

They could’ve chosen from an array of great English cheeses πŸ§€ (also explain Monterey is in California… a very long way from Cheddar Gorge)

…wait a minute …haggis (now I’m distracted) Haggis with everything gets my vote

If the last 10-15 years of women's cricket seemed to develop at a dizzying rate, it will look like nothing compared with what's about to come.

If most boards don't find ways of rapidly professionalising their domestic systems, they will very quickly fade from being remotely competitive.

The WACA bounce is exceptional so I think it’ll be fascinating… esp if the points dictate that one side needs to win to be victorious in the multi format

…Healy is as β€œTest wise” a Captain as a woman in the current era can be…

…well jealous of anyone seeing it live in Oz

Depending what happens in the ODIs, the Test could be fascinating. You would expect Australia to have a big advantage in that longer format, I think? Absolutely love that they have made this series multi-format. #AUSvIND

Suspect it will mostly be the same two in the last two for the foreseeable future (Australia and India), just with blue starting to win a bit more often than yellow.

I prefer my optimism 😁

…although it’s fun to see …

…India fully β€œin the mix” at the top of global women’s cricket

…and it’s no longer a forgone conclusions about semi finalists & winners of major ICC tournaments

This multi format series is set up to be a humdinger now… Healy returns to the rescue mission?

What a great tournament in Nepal. So pleased to see Scotland join Ireland, Netherlands and Bangladesh in England this summer. Nepal are co-hosting the under 19 world cup with Bangladesh this time next year. Expect more geo-political manoeuvring from BJP-BCCI-ICC.
