Jemimah, Deepti, Harmanpreet among Indians signed to play in world tournament

Some of India’s women cricketers like T20 captain Harmanpreet Kaur will be part of the first-of-its-kind FairBreak Global Cricket Tournament 2022. This will be the world’s first privately funded tournament in women’s cricket history.

The Fairbreak tournament will be an invitational women’s T20 tournament that will be played in Hong Kong between May 1 and May 15, 2022. Six teams will participate in the competition and 19 matches will be played across 15 days at Kowloon Cricket Club in Hong Kong. These six teams will have women cricketers from different parts of the world – with a stress on ICC’s Associate nations.

This event will mark a significant progress in the development of women’s cricket, said a press release by the tournament organisers.

“I’m excited for the players, particularly for Associate Nation players, and those who have lacked opportunity and recognition in this sport to date. We must always have an equal playing field that rewards talent and aspiration.” Shaun Martyn, Founder and MD, FairBreak Global, said.
