THE

inclusion of women’s Twenty20 cricket at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham has been backed by the ECB, ICC and now the MCC’s World Cricket Committee. Women’s cricket at Edgbaston would be a wonderful addition to the Games but the decision now lies with the Birmingham 2022 organising committee, who will make their proposal to the Commonwealth Games Federation by the end of May. Cost is a major factor, while archery, shooting, para-table tennis and volleyball are also fighting for inclusion.
