Heather Knight, vice-captain of England women’s cricket team, said that women’s cricket should receive the same amount scrutiny as men’s cricket does.

“We don’t want women’s cricket to be all soft and fluffy. If we don’t perform, we must be subject to the scrutiny. It is what we want. We want to be subject to praise when we do well and criticism when we don’t. We’re all really enjoying the additional media attention women’s cricket is getting. It brings pressures but we welcome it.”, Knight was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

England’s women will play a Test against India’s women on 13th August at Wormsley.
