What are ICC's new guidelines for female cricketers?
On June 22, the ICC launched its return-to-play guidelines for female cricketers post-pregnancy. This is a first-of-its-kind framework that equips Member Boards, medical professionals, and coaches with practical guidance to support a safe return to cricket after pregnancy.
“Motherhood and elite cricket should not be seen as mutually exclusive. By providing clear, practical and player-centred guidance, we want to help Member Boards support informed choices, protect player welfare and retain more outstanding talent in the game,” announced a spokesperson for the ICC via a press release.
Deepika Padukone on 8-hour shift
After returning to work post-pregnancy, the first debate the actress found herself in was over her demand for an eight-hour shift to strike a work-life balance. Her stance reportedly led to her stepping out of two major projects, Spirit and Kalki 2. In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Padukone spoke about her demand and the response she had been receiving ever since she has spoken out.
“By virtue of being a woman if that's coming across as being pushy or whatever, then so be it. But it is no secret that a lot of superstars, male superstars in the Indian film industry, have been working for 8 hours for years and it's never made headlines.” she went on to said.
“I don't want to take names now and make this into this whole thing but it's very commonly, publicly known about a lot of male actors who have been working for 8 hours for years. A lot of them work only Monday to Friday, they do not work on weekends.”
