International Cricket Council: Snehal Pradhan, the Manager of Women’s cricket at the International Cricket Council (ICC), believes the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup has been a catalyst in the increase in numbers of female coaches in the game’s age-group system.

As per the ICC, the number of females in coaching roles across participating teams has risen from 12 to 20, compared to the inaugural tournament in 2023. Australia, Samoa and Scotland have all-female coaching teams, while Nigeria and South Africa’s coaching teams are staffed by a majority of female members.

South Africa’s Trisha Chetty and England’s Beth Morgan are among the former top international cricketers who will be coaching during the tournament starting on Saturday. Former England senior women’s head coach Lisa Keightley is also part of the Australian coaching team in this U19 World Cup.
