Isa Guha found fame as a cricketer, playing for England from 2001 to 2011, and was a member of the team that won the 2009 World Cup. Since then the 36-year-old moved into broadcasting and is fronting coverage of the new cricket tournament The Hundred on the BBC this summer.
Hi Isa! We’ve just had the Euros, now you’ll be hoping there is an appetite for all the cricket coming up…
Yes, there is a lot of cricket on this summer. Football is the most-loved sport in this country, so cricket is trying to find ways of getting new audiences and getting people excited about it.
So what’s the idea of The Hundred?
It’s trying to simplify cricket. It’s trying to not alienate existing cricket fans, while appealing to those who might find it hard to understand the game.
Women’s cricket features among the summer’s TV fixtures and there are increasing numbers of women commentating, aren’t there?
