ICC 100% Cricket Superstars launched, unveiling 5 superstars
“100% Cricket Superstars celebrates the best talent in the women’s game as part of the ICC’s ongoing 100% Cricket campaign during a period that sees some of the sport’s most significant events take place. With women’s cricket making its inaugural appearance at the Commonwealth Games later this month, we will also host the first-ever ICC Women’s U19 T20 World Cup in January which is immediately followed by the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. The players selected today epitomize the future of women’s cricket and it’s going to be exciting to build up to a fan-led vote to narrow down what will be an amazing squad into an XI that I’m sure cricket fans around the world would love to watch!”
