Lisa Keightley ‘disappointed’ at lack of female head coaches in Women’s Hundred 2026

Women’s Hundred 2026: Lisa Keightley ne jatayi nirasha

Women’s Hundred ke historic auction ke dauran jab bidding room mein laakhon-karodon ki boli lag rahi thi, tab MI London ki head coach Lisa Keightley ne ek badi haqeeqat ki taraf ishara kiya. Keightley, jo is auction mein maujood aath teams mein iklauti mahila head coach (Female Head Coach) thi, unhone is baat par gehri nirasha (disappointment) jatayi hai.

Keightley ne ESPNcricinfo se baat karte hue kaha, “Sabse nirashajanak baat yeh hai ki main room mein charo taraf dekhti hoon aur main iklauti female head coach hoon. Main chahti hoon ki aane wale samay mein aur zyada mahilaein in roles mein dikhai dein.”

Coaching Landscape mein badlav ki zaroorat

Halanki, coaching staff mein Anya Shrubsole aur Sarah Taylor jaise diggaj naam assistant roles mein zaroor dikhe, lekin main head coach ke taur par mahilaon ki sankhya abhi bhi chinta ka vishay hai. Keightley ka maanna hai ki mahilaon ko khud par bharosa rakhne ki zaroorat hai:

• Be Brave: Opportunity milne par peeche na haten.
• Back Yourself: Apni abilities par vishwas rakhein.
• Hard Yards: Coaching landscape mein apni jagah banane ke liye mehnat aur respect kamaana zaroori hai.

MI London ki taiyariyan

Team building ke mamle mein, Keightley ka kehna hai ki MI London ne apne bases cover kar liye hain. Team ne Hayley Matthews, Melie Kerr, aur Danni Wyatt-Hodge jaise bade khiladiyon ko shamil kiya hai. Woh kehti hain, “Humari batting line-up number nau tak gehri hai, jo is competition mein humein ek badi edge degi.”

Kya aane wale paanch saalon mein hum aur zyada mahila head coaches ko dekh paenge? Lisa Keightley ki ye baat cricket ki duniya ke liye ek wake-up call hai. Women’s cricket tezi se badh raha hai, aur ab waqt hai ki coaching roles mein bhi ‘Gender Diversity’ ko badhava mile.
