SUPPORTING YOUNG SOUTH ASIAN FEMALE PLAYERS
1
SACA recognises that there is limited research concerning the development of BSA female cricketers in the UK. What we do know is that whilst numbers of BSA representation at youth level are slowly increasing, there is a dramatic decline at a senior level and even more so into professional franchise teams to <3%.

SACA has partnered with Birmingham City University & Take Her Lead, initiating and part funding PhD research (Hina Shafi) exploring the reasons into low BSA female representation. PhD research provided the foundations for the SACA Men's programme, and it is hoped that once the specific issues in the women's game are highlighted, this can help shape future intervention programmes for girls and women too.

Without knowing the specific research to date, it is clear to see anecdotally that there are a lack of BSA female role models and coaches in the game. As such, SACA helps its female coaches by providing support, access and financial contributions towards gaining coaching qualifications.
