Hayley Matthews: 'Captaining West Indies is still my number one priority'
West Indies captain and WPL winner Hayley Matthews on the volume of women's cricket
We hear from West Indies captain and WPL winner Hayley Matthews. She tells us that playing for her country is still her βnumber one priorityβ and she speaks about the Fairbreak Invitational and the calibre of associate players in the competition.
We discuss a landmark week in Australia where Cricket Australia have announced an increase in payments for all centrally contracted cricketers, with female players now set to become the nation's highest paid women's athletes in Australian team sport.
And is there still a place for the physical booklet in cricket/sport when we are in a digital age? We ask this question to Ian Marshall who is the editor of the Playfair Cricket Annual. And the team debate their different preparation techniques for commentary.
