Changing rooms can be lonely places. When Isa Guha started playing cricket she was the only girl in an all-boys team and when she was only a little older, the only girl in an all-women’s one. A lot of the women she played with and against in her 10 years of international cricket had similar stories, so do a lot of the women she watches and talks about now, a decade later, in her second career as a presenter and commentator.
“Being the only girl in a team, that’s still quite common,” Guha says. “It probably helped my cricket, because I was spending so much time out of my comfort zone, but it still came with the same feelings of isolation.”
