They are poorly publicised, don't make sense to the fans for a number of reasons, and do little to increase the game's supporter base
This year's WBBL has demonstrated CA's lead in making women's cricket visible to a wider audience. The ECB must follow suit
A magazine's recent ranking of the game's influential figures reveals just how much women's cricket has lost
