The Standard Athletic Club, the oldest cricket club in France (which participated in the last Olympics cricket game near Paris in 1900), makes a statement of no confidence in France Cricket and calls on the ICC to act.

It follows a statement from Nantes Cricket Club distancing itself from France Cricket. Nantes supplies more players to the women's national team than any other club and has the only known turf wicket in the country.

The French Women’s cricket team wrote and signed this letter. Women’ s cricket isn’t fake, national team neither. We will fight to play And make our wonderful sport to be played at every level in France 🇫🇷 thank you to my teammates And our captain Marie Violleau

#CricketinFrance What an irony. On the France Cricket website, the only unfilled Commissions are: Legal and Regulations Commission, Women's Commission, Electoral Monitoring Commission and... Ethics Commission. April fool's joke? It's November 15.

Just your friendly reminder that cricket (and all sports) are for everyone💥

🚨 France Cricket pulls out of the inaugural Women's European Cricket Championship with less than a month to go.

Celebrating women's ghost teams but punishing those who really exist and dedicate all their passion to cricket in France 🇫🇷🏏. It's a disgrace France Cricket, your methods are those of an archaic world that shouldn't exist in which you demand submission or order punishment.#shame

Amazing News !! So well deserve Kathryn Bryce 🤗😍🤩 you will shine there ! Congratulations ! Looking forward to watch you on tv

Le 22 décembre 1989, Samuel Beckett meurt à Paris. Prix Nobel de littérature en 1969, c’est également un grand sportif : boxe, natation, rugby, golf…. Il se distingue surtout au cricket en participant à plusieurs matchs internationaux avec le Trinity College

Miam miam

As if we needed more excuses to love Andy Murray

Quitte à être écœurée, autant poursuivre la soirée à boulotter un paquet de Granola sans modération. #remaniement #soireegluten

Dear cricket twitter, I am blowing the conch in the spirit of Ron Burgundy, we are trying to arrange a game with a French Women's XI against an English or International XI after the despicable ghost matchs of France Cricket, to prove that Women matter in Cricket in France.

Depressing, but unsurprising. As I've pointed out before, this sort of thing is a consequence of the reliance of the ICC scorecard grant on self-reported data from member boards, which the ICC has neither the capacity nor, it seems, the inclination to verify.

This is how the French cricket authorities treat women's cricket and its players, especially those in the French national team. It's time for a change! I feel very sad for my sport, which I discovered late in life and which has become my passion, my second family. #cricket

If you're wondering why few if any players within the American cricket ecosystem speak out with their names attached to criticize the state of affairs, whether currently or in the USACA era, retribution from the board like that experienced by these French women's players is why.

"It's basically a bully system. 'Trust the process' is a nice way of saying 'Shut up and do what you're told'." Strong testimony from French international Poppy McGeown in this. Thanks for having us on Georgie Heath🎙️!
