England's disappointing Women's T20 World Cup campaign has led to criticism about player fitness, with Alex Hartley highlighting that some athletes are letting the team down.
Hartley remarked, 'There are going to be a lot of questions asked and some of them, rightly so, on fitness. England need to get fitter.' This emphasizes the urgent need for improvement.
Richard Gould, the ECB's chief executive, stated, 'I think athleticism in cricket is increasingly important. We want to provide whatever support we can to all our players.' This indicates a commitment to player development.
Gould further noted, 'We've under-invested in the women's game for a long time.' This reflects the historical challenges faced by female players and the changes needed for growth.
