“However in follow, points on the bottom in every nation make {that a} problem. Even Pakistan-Australia fixtures have moved by a day or two, as completely different preparations come into pressure, so I do not assume it’s going to influence curiosity within the girls’s World Cup.
“However the way in which the lads’s calendar and the ladies’s calendar work together is one thing we’re attempting to work round much more carefully sooner or later.”
