The numbers speak of belief, progress, and pride! 185 million tuned in to the 2025 Women’s World Cup Final in India, matching the viewership of the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup Final. Grateful to @ICC and @JayShah Sir for their leadership and efforts in taking the tournament to new heights. I feel proud to say that this is just the beginning of an exciting new era for the sport. ❤️🏏

Commendable leadership by the @ICC and @JayShah in creating a dedicated task force to support displaced Afghan women cricketers. Sport has the unique power to uplift, unite, and empower especially in the face of adversity. This initiative not only offers these athletes a chance to continue their cricketing dreams but also provides them with dignity, purpose, and hope.

Congratulations to the newly elected IOC President, Kirsty Coventry @KirstyCoventry . She was my Chair at the IOC Athletes’ Commission, and I have seen firsthand her unwavering commitment to athletes and the Olympic Movement. As the first woman to lead the IOC, she is breaking new ground and will ensure that athletes remain at the heart of every decision. Wishing her all the success in this historic role!

Amplifying the sport of cricket to more people around the globe is one of the main priorities for the ICC members and I, so it's encouraging to see evidence of how much interest there was globally in the @ICC @T20WorldCup this year. #TopGoogleTrends2024

Glad to see my good friend Prime Minister @AlboMP with the Indian and PM’s XI teams. Team India is off to a great start in the series and 1.4 billion Indians are strongly rooting for the Men in Blue. I look forward to exciting games ahead.
Big challenge ahead for the PM’s XI at Manuka Oval this week against an amazing Indian side. 

 But as I said to PM @narendramodi, I’m backing the Aussies to get the job done.

DRS for domestic cricket is not just for the right decisions to be made. Ricky Bhuvi’s dismissal last evening against Manav Suthar is a classic case of a batter who will get away with this technique 10/10 times in FC cricket. This was not a faulty technique pre DRS but now it is. Back in the day batters were given not out just because they managed to get on the front foot. Now, keeping your bat behind the pad can be fatal, imagine someone making the climb to international cricket without getting this experience Ricky got yesterday. He could very well take an entire test series to understand what he needs to work on and his career could well be over. This is a fab experience for more than just one reason 👏👏 @BCCI

After experiencing another quite surreal atmosphere at a cricket ground in India again last night, I encourage EVERY SINGLE sports fan who hasn’t visited India and watched an @IPL game, to do it asap! It’s without doubt the greatest atmosphere in global sport! Book the trip & travel!

Great initiative to ensure that all the effort that goes into playing Test cricket is suitably rewarded. This is more than an incentive, it's also a recognition of Test cricket's standing as the ultimate format. @BCCI @JayShah
I am pleased to announce the initiation of the 'Test Cricket Incentive Scheme' for Senior Men, a step aimed at providing financial growth and stability to our esteemed athletes. Commencing from the 2022-23 season, the 'Test Cricket Incentive Scheme' will serve as an additional reward structure on top of the existing match fee for Test matches, set at INR 15 lakhs.

The Ranji Trophy has not returned to TN for almost 35 years. But they won their group and beat the reigning champions, Saurashtra in the last 8. Could it be their year or will it head to Mumbai, Vidarbha or MP? The next three games should be very exciting. Who's your pick? #RanjiTrophy @BCCI @MPCAtweets @mumbaicricassoc @TNCACricket #MadhyaPradesh es.pn/3IjRhEr
