Opinion: It’s time to change women’s sporting uniforms away from white pants and outfits so girls don’t feel yet another barrier stopping them from playing
Imagine this – a teenage cricket sensation is playing in her Test match debut. Having received her baggy green from the captain, she walks out to open the batting. Her stay at the crease is longer than she has ever experienced before, and in the final session of the day she brings up a test century.
It is only a matter of time before a test cricketer has a life-changing period accident broadcast live for the world to see. Unfortunately, a more likely scenario than the one imagined above, is that the period accident irreparably damages the cricketer’s self-confidence, and perhaps marks her life in ways she’d prefer it didn’t.
