"The 2020 study found there were five times more men playing cricket than women. This gap had narrowed to three times more men than women in 2026." @hergametoocricket.bsky.social @bestcricstories.bsky.social @womenscricblog.bsky.social @crickether.com bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Next, @shubhamjain224.bsky.social asked the hard questions in re cricket #ClimateCrisis #ClimateJustice & the social mobility myth, situating his work in South Asia @thenexttest.org @playthegame-org.bsky.social @bestcricstories.bsky.social @cambridgelaw.bsky.social #CRN2026 @caiuscollege.bsky.social

@shubhamjain224.bsky.social argues that cricket's "South Asian Paradox" - whereby players do not want to speak out because competition for places is so strong - is having a negative impact on player welfare. Nobody wants to complain about poor air quality or other environmental issues. #CRN2026

“Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” My preview of tomorrow’s #CWC25 final between India and South Africa:

Our Education & Policy researcher @shubhamjain224.bsky.social led a roundtable on environmental justice & sports at the #sportpositive25 exploring how the sector can respond to the #climatecrisis We're working to support change by all committed actors in the #sport ecosystem ➕ Info: bit.ly/4o4YL1q

⚽ Can the 2026 FIFA World Cup really be “inclusive”? Discrimination may block fans. Daniela Heerdt (Asser Institute) says respecting rights isn’t protecting them. 📢 Last call to join our online course on gender and human rights in sport to explore these issues further. 👉 Read more: lnkd.in/edm-Wdrx

🏏🌍 Did you catch this documentary on Cricket's climate crisis from Sky Sports a couple of years ago? Well worth a watch:

"India’s sports market is booming, and female athletes who have long labored in the shadow of men want to make sure they get their share of it." @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/w...

Despite a growing number of #Indian #women #athletes asserting themselves on the international stage, there is a lack of women working as support staff, in administration, coaching, or even roles such as a physiotherapist or trainer. Shahid Judge writes for @scroll.in scroll.in/field/106489...
