The ECB or England cricket board has come up with another controversy as usual regarding English women’s cricket. The fans of English cricket have reacted aggressively over this blunder made by the premier cricket federation of the sport in the country. The unhindered inequality has been spotted when in recent days for the men’s cricket team, England board schedule top venues of the country like Lords, Edgbaston and Old Trafford. Where on the other hand the domestic matches of women’s cricket teams have been arranged on the general school grounds of the cities instead of any professional cricket field.
The fans of England cricket have viral this flaw on social media which is happening with women’s domestic teams from the last couple of months and finally the followers of the sport have criticized the whole board management which is responsible for this transparent inequality. ECB used to be focused more on the men’s cricket teams in comparison with the women’s cricket.
According to many experts of England cricket like Kevin Peterson, Michael Atherton and Michael Vaughan, the England cricket board primarily worked on the more capital intensive model which is none other than men’s cricket instead of women’s. When this news came into public domain then many English fans slammed the cricket board for showing clear disparity and now the board is facing the consequences of this circumstance.

Not "haha" funny, though. More "There's an awful lot of talk about equality by the ECB and yet the women's teams literally have to play on a school field in the middle of nowhere rather than a professional cricket ground. What utter bullshit!" funny.
