Clare Connor, the former England women's cricket captain and current administrator, is set to depart from the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) following the T20 Women's World Cup. With a significant tenure of over 18 years at the ECB, Connor has played a pivotal role in promoting women's cricket and enhancing its visibility and structure within the sport. Her leadership has seen the women's game grow, both in participation and viewership, making her departure notable as the ECB continues to navigate the evolving landscape of cricket. The announcement comes at a crucial time as the women's team gears up for the World Cup, where their performance could impact future investments and development in women's cricket.
