Meet the woman who wants to be the first female test cricket umpire. You won’t believe what Karen Naylor has had to endure over the past two decades.

19 year old Holly Ferling had an unconventional start to her career. But now that her Southern Stars have aligned, it’s the Ashes she desperately wants.

Sportette has asked the most influential athletes and administrator their wish for the women in their sport for next year and in five years.

Sportette’s editor was invited to Southern Stars training to see first hand what goes into making this World Champion Australian Women’s Cricket Team.
