Congratulations to @mimwalkerkhan on being named Sports Journalist of the Year at the Asian Media Awards — a fantastic and well-deserved recognition of her outstanding work and impact in sports journalism!
I attended the @ESAN_Network Conference at @OfficialBHAFC 🏟️
I was proud to present Part 1 of the first empirical study from my PhD thesis: ‘Talent ID and Talent Development in Women’s and Girls’ Sport: A Systematic Review of the Literature through an Intersectionality Lens.’
Ecstatic to announce that I’ve been successful in gaining a PhD studentship.
I'll focus on creating culturally inclusive cricket programs, where we attract, identify & develop talent while addressing participation/ performance barriers for British South Asian women and girls 🏏
My PhD research on inequality in cricket featured in @SkyCricket 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐲.
It highlights the experiences of British South Asian cricketers & the barriers stopping talent from grassroots reaching the elite. Participation is high, representation isn’t.
