 A study conducted by Sportz Village Xp for a leading consumer health brand found out eye-opening realities and challenges faced by girls in popular sports like Cricket. 

The study found that despite 87% prevalence of mixed sports in schools and academies, a majority of the 1500+ respondents opined that boys are more comfortable with mixed sports as compared to girls. 72% participants agreed that girls are made fun of for lacking strength or skills.

It also highlighted the fact that 64% girls don’t engage in a sport like cricket because their friends don’t play the game. Also, 79% girls choose individual or smaller team sports where they don’t need to count on other girls playing. Social stigma, lack of support and teams, fear of embarrassment, pain or physical discomfort and lack of adequate facilities are the major reasons restricting the girls from making their dream career in the field of sports.
