Women's cricket overlooked as men's Test issues dominate discourse
Summary

The England and Wales Cricket Board is facing criticism for allowing the men's Test match issues to overshadow women's cricket. Despite a significant month for the women's game, the failures surrounding the men's fixtures have drawn attention away from female athletes. The ECB's role in this dynamic has raised concerns regarding equality in coverage and support. Commentary suggests the need for better promotion and engagement with women's cricket to balance the focus in English cricket.
