The Ethnic Profile of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) Girls’ Talent Pathways and Women’s Super League - Hina Shafi
Hina's research found South Asian players are overrepresented at youth level (11.67%) whereas they are underrepresented at senior level (3.3%). South Asians are three times more underrepresented in professional level. Moreover, Black British players are underrepresented across the entire pathway. The girls’ pathway shows a steady decline in ethnic diversity as it progresses, indicating a need to focus on transition points during the pathway.
