The number of women's and girls’ cricket teams in England and Wales has grown by a fifth over the last year as the ECB continues to ramp up its efforts to equalise the game.
Only months after the body set itself the target of tripling the number of girls’ teams in the country to 6,000 by 2026, a new impact report has found more than 700 new teams were set up in 2023, while the number of fixtures played by women’s teams also increased by 22 per cent.
