The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced a social media moderation programme to promote a more positive and inclusive online experience for teams and players ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, with more than 60 players already opting in as onboarding continues.
As part of the ICC’s suite of digital products for this tournament, the ICC has rolled out new software that will help protect the cricket community from toxic content with the aim to safeguard the mental health of individuals and ensure a safer, kinder and healthier online community for the sport.
For the social media moderation, the ICC has engaged GoBubble to provide a combination of AI technology and human resources to monitor and moderate comments on the ICC’s official Facebook, Instagram and YouTube channels, as well those of players who elect to sign up to the service. The cutting-edge technology is designed to identify and hide from public view toxic content such as hate speech, harassment, and misogyny, helping to create a safer and more welcoming space for fans to engage with the World Cup.
Players participating in the World Cup can opt in to this service to have harmful comments hidden from their social media channels, allowing them to promote themselves and the sport in a much safer environment.
ICC Head of Digital, Finn Bradshaw said: “We are dedicated to fostering a positive and inclusive environment for all participants and fans of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, it’s been great to see so many of the players and teams embrace our new initiative.”
South Africa’s Sinalo Jafta said: “For me with social media protection I think it takes a lot of weight off players, especially at World Cup campaigns as that is the worst of it.
“There is nothing worse than opening up your phone after a loss – or after a victory – and regardless of what side you find yourself there is always some degrading comment about your personality.
“With the youngsters coming in you tell them ‘please don’t look’, but what are they going to do? It is literally their thing.
“That protection for me is very big because players get to share their life with the world without the fear of being judged or criticised. I am looking forward to seeing the changes, people just being free and players can just show the world who they really are.”

Read BCCI backwards if you don't believe. You will find ICC there.

The ICC Board has today approved that matches between India and Pakistan played at ICC Events during the current rights cycle from 2024 to 2027 (which are to be hosted in India or Pakistan) will be played at a neutral venue proposed by the tournament host. This will apply to the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 (Pakistan), ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 (India) and the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 (India and Sri Lanka).
In addition, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been awarded hosting rights of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in 2028, where neutral venue arrangements will also apply. Cricket Australia has also been awarded hosting rights for one of the senior ICC women’s events during the period 2029 to 2031.

Chamari Athapaththu (Sri Lanka)
458 runs and 9 wickets in 9 matches
Chamari Athapaththu had a delayed start to her ODI year, playing her first match in April, but she wasted no time making an impact. She struck a half-century in the second ODI against South Africa before producing a career-best knock of 195* in the final match.
Her outstanding form carried into Sri Lanka’s home series against West Indies, where the team secured a 3-0 clean sweep. Athapaththu played a pivotal role, smashing a brilliant 91 in the final ODI, narrowly missing out on a century by just nine runs.
In Sri Lanka’s final ODI series of the year in August, she continued to deliver with both bat and ball, including a vital contribution of 48 runs and 3/48 in the final match, showcasing her all-round abilities.
Athapaththu too is among the contenders for ICC Women’s ODI Cricketer of the Year.
