Covering women's cricket in India has largely been a thankless, taxing, financially unrewarding job these past few years.
You have heard me say this before, but today seems like as good a time as any to reiterate this truth.

Only a few journalists have gone out of their way to cover women's cricket in person in the time I've been in this industry. It often involves giving up days-off/voluntarily working extra hours/shelling 💵 out of one's own pocket to be able to document matches/stories first-hand.
Most cricketers who are part of the national mix, and even their families, know who these journalists are and acknowledge their effort. And it's important I mention this because when all else seems futile, it's only their stories AND humility that keep the journalists going.
Tough love in Birmingham. It was a humbled experience in my 4th Commonwealth Games. No medal to bring home 🇲🇾 this time around. #B2022

Coming to Birmingham, I always give my best in my preparation, for I know how important this event is for the country. But, my body recovery process was slower than expected since returning from Budapest World Championships, and it continues to bother me even after I'm arrived.
I admit that I struggled in my individual event on the first day. Because physically, I wasn't 100% fit. I couldn't adapt fast enough with the local time zone.
Chance to stop and reflect on my learning from yesterdays @physiosinsport conference - my first thread (I think!) 
1. Looking ahead to volunteering as a physio at the #B2022 games and the opportunities to learn from a range of clinicians in a multi sport event, in a sport that provides the chance to work with para-athletes again is exciting and a small step towards the dream goal #Paralympics
2. And how hands-on Ax and MOI shouldn’t become a lost art in Sport. Develop/practice hands-on Ax skills, know your anatomy, think logically and treat what you see. Imaging is a lovely luxury to aid Ax and 🔺but shouldn’t take the place of what makes us autonomous practitioners
