So I don't think it's lost on any of us how cool an opportunity that is to...
Absolutely.
And I think that's like really cool for us as players to A, get to play at these really cool grounds, but B, be accessible to people around the country because, you know, we know that cricket isn't just played and sport isn't just played in London and giving it, you know, the opportunity for a massive major tournament like this to get around the country, to get to Leeds, to get to Manchester, to get to places like Birmingham, Southampton is a really good opportunity for women's sport definitely and sport in general to get around a bit.
Turns into a good day out, yeah.
Especially, you know, if you're going making a day of it and you get to spend a bit more time on the ground, which is nice.
But I think like there's so many, like you say, different countries involved and different personalities in those countries and giving people the opportunity and the access to watch more than one of those superstars.
Because each of these teams, you know, they have got superstars.
You mentioned Ireland and the West Indies.
West Indies, Hayley Matthews, one of the best players in the world.
You know, Ireland have got players like Ola Prendergast and having these players all in the same team
the same place at once is so exciting.
Yeah, the brilliant thing is Chance to Shine is it's run in state schools as part of kind of the curriculum for a couple of weeks or so during a summer term when, you know, kids are about nine or 10 and it engages the whole class.
So you get that 50-50 split of boys and girls, which is so important because the women's game has just grown exponentially over the last couple of years, very similar to the women's football and
And that growth is going to keep going with more talent coming through the bottom.
And, you know, the way talent comes through the bottom is engaging kids when they're that kind of nine, 10 years old.
So, you know, the Chance to Shine program is so important because it gives everybody access and it gives, I think there are 6 million people they've delivered their sessions to, which is just incredible numbers.
And there's so many opportunities, I guess, for parents and kids to kind of chat about the game and, you know, for kids to be curious and ask questions and, you know, oh, like, why is this person stood there?
Why is this person doing that?
That person's taken their hat off.
Like, if you ask those questions during a 90-minute football match, you know, your parents are going, shut up, I'm trying to watch.
