England is leading the way in women's cricket.
England Women regularly play against Under-15 and U-17 county men's sides, which is great for the girls to take them out of their comfort zones. It's important to find a balance, though, because the way in which women's cricket is played is still very different.
People were not even knowing that women's cricket existed. And from that phase to today where people would want to follow women's cricket, I think we have come a long way.
I think a captain is someone who captains on the cricket field but, most of the leadership that happens is off the cricket field. It's very easy to captain people on the cricket field, but if you can start leading them off the cricket field, and show them that trust, what you have in them.
You wouldn't see those sorts of decisions given in village cricket, let alone Test cricket. The England players have my sympathy.
As a young kid in the beginning, I myself did not know that there was women's cricket in India or that there is an Indian women's cricket team.
I've been to a lot of places to play cricket, but cricket and training get in the way! In India, all you see is the hotel and the cricket ground.
I wanted to bat for the England cricket team. I was quite good at cricket. But then I kept getting out for low scores. It turned out I didn't have the talent.
We need to have women as role models, both inside and outside corporate America's leading tech companies, leading the path for other women.
Cricket has a stigma of old men in white clothes playing cricket but readdressing that image to people who aren't necessarily cricket lovers may go some way to making it cooler.
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.
I would have enjoyed playing some county cricket and learning my art that way, but I never had any ambitions at all to play for England, that's for sure.
I think T20 cricket has become the flagship spectacle for women's cricket.
It's often women who are writing leading roles for women. Most of the stuff that comes my way is not actually about women. I'm just asked to be a supporting player in a story about a man, and I, frankly, was not interested in doing that.
The Nordic countries are leading the way on women's equality, recognizing women as equal citizens rather than commodities for sale.
All of us follow men's cricket because we want at some point that women's cricket would be up there.
In one sense, what happens for me outside of cricket gives me that break - the farming means I have a really different life outside of cricket; it's not just cricket, cricket, cricket for 12 months of the year.
