ICONIC names from world cricket will be calling the games during the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
Prominent names attached to women’s cricket including World Cup-winners Mel Jones, Lisa Sthalekar, Stacy Ann King, and Lydia Greenway along with former international stars Anjum Chopra and Katey Martin, as well as ex-India women’s head coach WV Raman will be a part of the team.
England’s Greenway, who featured in the inaugural T20I and the first-ever Women’s T20 World Cup Final, was excited at the prospect of a historical event.
“We’re seeing elite athletes at the peak of their powers, and with the increased prize pool, it’s clear the game is being given the platform and respect it deserves,” she said.
“The skills on display are going to be breathtaking, and I think we’ll witness some truly unforgettable moments that will push the boundaries of what’s possible in women’s cricket. I can’t wait to call the action from the commentary box and be a part of this amazing tournament.”
Adding to the star power on display, former India and Pakistan skippers Mithali Raj and Sana Mir will also be part of the setup.
Also in the mix will be leading voices of world cricket including Natalie Germanos, Ian Bishop, Kass Naidoo, Nasser Hussain, Alison Mitchell, Carlos Brathwaite and Mpumelelo Mbangwa.
West Indies’ Ian Bishop, an iconic fixture in the commentary box for several years, was looking forward to another exhilarating women’s event.
“Women’s cricket has been very close to my heart for quite some time. It is exciting to behold how much the game has evolved – the women cricketers continue to exhibit ever-increasing ingenuity, athleticism, power and finesse,” Bishop said.
The important task of handling the build-up shows would go to Kass and Laura McGoldrick.
Live coverage for all matches will be produced by ICC TV, ensuring that the global audience can enjoy every moment of cricketing action.
In addition to the live match coverage, ICC TV will produce a 30-minute pre-game build-up.
