Women’s cricket has been given a major boost after the T20 format of the game was declared as one of the events to be held at the 2022 Commonwealth games in Birmingham, England. Eight teams will be competing for the gold medal at Edgbaston and the move was lauded by both the ICC and the ECB.

Jacques Kallis was elated on hearing that women’s T20 cricket will be a part of the Commonwealth Games to be held in England in 2022 after the decision was taken by the Commonwealth Games Federation. Kallis also reminisced about his country’s triumphant campaign in the games in 1998.

According to a TOI report, WADA has asked ICC to resolve the issues between BCCI and India’s NADA by May this year or the global cricket body will be declared ‘non-compliant’. BCCI has been reluctant to come under the purview of NADA citing some goof-ups by the agency to the ICC.
