by Kate Cross admitted that there were cultural problems in English female cricket and said that it feared that the national team has lost fans after a disastrous series of ashes in which the team was laundered 16-0 by Australia in the middle of a sea of flaring and striker.
Cross, a member of the unused team during the tour thanks to a back injury, also called the Cricket Council of England and the Wales to leave no stone not returned to their examination of the tour, which, according to her, is crucial to guarantee that the public “is in love with English cricket”.

The examination is led by the director general of the ECB, Clare Connor, and was to end within four weeks of the tour. However, this deadline has now passed and there has been a radio silence on the future of Jon Lewis as a chief coach and Heather Knight, the captain.
As part of the journal, all current players in England were invited to provide comments to the Director of Women’s Cricket in England, Jonathan Finch; Cross, it seems, was constantly honest in his own account.
“I believe as a team, we do a lot of things, but there are areas that we know that we have to approach, cricket points of view, cultural views,” she said. “I do not know what will come from this review, but I hope that it is the things that will be addressed and that will open the way for the next generation to want to play for England.
“I think we may have lost a few fans in the past two months, which is really sad from our point of view. As a cricket players, we know how bad this tour – we are not going to try sugar. But I would like people to fall in love with English cricket.
Cross opinions strongly contrast with those of Connor, who kept in his own post-celles press conference that there was no cultural problem at play in defeat.
Cross also admitted that Lewis’ Inspire and Entertain Mantra had sounded Hollow at the end of a three-week multi-format tour in which England did not win a match. “We did not play the right cricket for part of this tour,” she said. “We cannot get out of it and say that we want to inspire and entertain people when we do not do our job as well as we should have done.”
The 33 -year -old man was expressed during the launch of Accelerating Action for Players, a new report on the female cricket of the Professional Cricket ‘Association, which has celebrated the increase in the professionalism of the female game since 2021. In the past four years, there has been an increase of 430% of the remuneration for the female game through England, domestic cricket and hundred. The average salary for a female player in England increased by 236% since 2021, the players under centrally contract now winning up to £ 300,000 per year from the ECB when taking match costs into account.
But as salaries have increased, the expectations of the team’s public also increased. “The positive of a really terrible ash is that the control we have obtained has shown how many people are interested now. People care, and that is why there is so much frustration in the result, “said Cross.
Cross added that the back injury that prevented him from playing in the ashes healed well. “I’m on the right track for the start of the season,” she said.
