What is FairBreak Invitational Tournament meant to associate nations?

As often we say new competition brings new opportunities. Though they say women cricket is growing, which is true but at what pace is the question. There is a clear mismatch between men and women cricket in terms of coverage, opportunities or the monetary aspects. In the ongoing FairBreak Invitational tournament cricketers from all over the world, not only from the major cricket playing nations but from lesser ranked teams like Rwanda, Japan, Nepal get to play with the big players.

Shiuzka Miyaji, 40 year old Japanese player representing Spirit Women speaking to Melinda Farrell in an interview said that Sophie Ecclestone is her hero who is also to be her teammate which is a rarity in women cricket. Unlike men they just play handful of games throughout the year and sharing dressing room with the stalwarts is far fetched.

Being said that, WBBL and The Hundred are the two most competitive leagues which mostly consists of top players around the globe.  Players like Shiuzka Miyaji, Nepalese bowler Sita Magar, Sornnarin Tippoch of Thailand or Sindhu Sriharsha of USA who’s captaining Warriors Women and many more talents won’t get to play any major leagues apart from representing their countries and this is what makes FairBreak so unique and gives these players proper exposure of what is to be playing with and against the worlds best.

The best thing about the league is each player has to play at least two games in the league stages which means every player in the squad will get their chance to showcase talent on the big stage.

Women Cricket need opportunities, opportunity sets stage for talents, talent exhibits and shine. Hope in future more players from associate team get to play on bigger dais. More power to womenfolk..!
