Research directions for the enhancement of women's cricket

Abstract

Female cricket players have received little media or social recognition over the years. There have been reviews done on research focusing on male cricketers; however, no review to date has considered research on female cricketers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to review the available literature pertaining to research on female cricketers. A selection of electronic databases was searched to find all relevant published articles. Gender or media based studies were excluded as this was not the focus of the paper. The results suggest that there is a paucity of research. The review highlights areas of research priority.
