“It's no secret that women's cricket needs India performing on the global stage, and any male support is welcome - with key voices like Sachin Tendulkar stating that women's cricket is critical to the future of our game, hopefully people will listen.”

“There isn't a traditional background of Asian women playing sport, but that's changing.”

“What I love in television is when you have the banter between the presenters, that's what makes a really good programme. That's why it is so important for me to have good relationships with people I'm commentating with.”

“In 2015, I was privileged to host the first ever televised Women's Test match during the 2015 Women's Ashes on Sky Sports, which saw every game covered of the multi-format series.”

“It's been great to see broadcasters waking up to the fact that women do offer a different perspective.”

“The 'Natmeg' from England's Natalie Sciver attracted a lot of attention as a brilliant piece of improvisation, which requires every bit as much talent as a Tillakaratne Dilshan 'scoop,' or a Jos Buttler 'ramp' shot.”

“My dream was always to play for England, having grown up in the U.K . Playing India as part of my first test match was a coincidence, and it was never an issue. My job was to do a good job for England!”

“We won't necessarily sledge so much but we do have that attitude of 'They're not going to score the runs, we're going to take the wickets.'”

“It goes without saying that I try to do everything to the best of my ability.”

“Kohli scores so freely. He's like Joe Root in that before you know it, he's on 30 off 20 balls. He is also the master of the chase - he calculates so the risks so perfectly.”

“That's how cricket should be broadcast. Ball-by-ball calling is important but you've got to be lighthearted like you're down the pub with your mates.”

“Just having the support from the male players is important as the women's game moves forward.”

“I think it's always really important in broadcast to be able to get different views across and not just go down one route, because that's essentially journalism.”

“People say that because I'm short I get a lot more skid off the pitch.”

“Asian parents generally tend to channel their children, especially their daughters, into studying and not sport.”

“My parents are proud of my achievements. They send articles to my grandparents in India. Everyone's happy I'm doing something I want to do.”

“My first game was against India and while my roots will always be Indian I was born in England and wanted to represent them.”

“With four women commentators, the IPL have shown they have faith in women commentators to do a good job.”

“Back in 2005, we lost in the semi-final of the World Cup and that was a great learning curve for the team. It gave us a goal and even more of a hunger to win the World Cup, so we went away and set ourselves a long-term plan to do it.”

“At a personal level, doing well in the Ashes and winning it was a high.”
