Wisden podcast assesses Harmanpreet Kaur's legacy and ECB funding for women's Tests
Wisden podcast discusses Harmanpreet Kaur's legacy and potential ECB funding for women's Tests in the Caribbean.
Wisden Women's Cricket Weekly examined Harmanpreet Kaur's impact on Indian and global women's cricket while discussing a proposed ECB-funded women's Test in the Caribbean. Cricket West Indies CEO Chris Dehring appeared on the podcast to outline plans for the England and Wales Cricket Board to finance a women's Test match next year ahead of the Ashes series. Indian cricket correspondent Annesha Ghosh joined the episode to evaluate the former captain's broader influence on the women's game.
Dehring addressed bilateral revenue arrangements that leave West Indies without income from series against India despite their commercial value. The episode also covered the transition of India's captaincy and the ECB's potential role in reviving women's Test cricket in the region.
The podcast forms part of Wisden's regular coverage of international cricket developments and selection debates.
