The excitement is building up and the last sets of preparation are speeding up as we are just 2 months away from the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup. Commencing the packed sports calendar for New Zealand with Women’s Rugby and Football World Cups scheduled following Cricket, The White Ferns are geared up to host the best teams of Women’s cricket from March 4. Initially scheduled to be held last year, the World Cup was pushed ahead by Covid-19 whose scare still hasn’t gone away with a new variant Omicron rising rapidly. A report by stuff.co.nz shared an update about the preparations, safety measures as well as allowance of the crowd to the stadium. As said by Women’s Cricket World Cup chief executive Andrea Nelson in the report, the major challenge for the organizing committee has been the uncertainty due to the pandemic since March 2020 and the sudden increase in Omicron has only raised the concern further.
