The BCCI's announcement of equal match fees for women and men internationals is to be applauded. But it needs to be backed up with equal opportunity to earn those match fees. The Test match fee is meaningless if the women play little or no Test cricket.

Marvellously forensic analysis of events leading up to Saturday's
#Law41_16RunOut
. You could analyse literally any match video the same way and make your head explode. Time for coaches to learn how to teach their players about this Law and how to deal with it consistently.
Went back to the full match replay. Charlie Dean was leaving her crease early starting with her 2nd ball at the non-striker's end in the 18th over. Ball still in bowler's hand. Dean is never looking at the bowler to see if/when the ball has been released. Basic lack of awareness.

A platform for bringing India and Pakistan together on an annual basis without simply being bilateral is a great idea, but needs to be inclusive of the entire global community. Instead of England and Australia every year, invite two other full member teams on rotation.
