Meanwhile, back on home soil in Gibraltar, women's cricket is going through a period of "rebirth". With the Europa Point Complex complete, the Gibraltar Cricket Association will be looking to recruit and expand the women's game in Gibraltar.
Training sessions are currently being carried out at the Victoria Stadium and if you are interested about finding out more about these sessions or about women's cricket in Gibraltar in general then feel free to contact us at:
The T20 event is one of three new events added to the next edition of the Games, alongside Beach Volleyball and Para Table Tennis, but there was no room on the schedule for shooting.
Eight teams will take part in the game's shortest format, which will be held at Edgbaston, boosting the total number of medal events for women at Birmingham 2022 to 135 - two more than men in a first for a major multi-sport event.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) said in a statement the sport's return to the Games was "a truly historic moment for women's cricket and for the global cricket community".
"Cricket's inclusion in an event with such a large global reach aligns perfectly with our plan to enable more women and girls to be inspired to get involved in cricket," England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Chief Executive Tom Harrison said.
