On this week’s episode Hannah & Georgie sit down with former Hong Kong captain Mariko Hill. They chat all things cricket including what it was like for Mariko to be in the presence of Meg Lanning as well as making the tough decision to give up the captaincy.
Her sports journey can be parallel to any Pakistani woman who is trying to make her mark in sports, especially when it comes to mainstream sports.
At the end of the day, the common thread is about women taking the space in sports and ultimately paving their way into making the world a more equitable place, one match at a time…

Barmy Army announced as a Team Sponsor for the FairBreak Invitational Women’s Cricket Tournament in Dubai
Sydney, Australia (22 March, 2022) – One of cricket’s best-known brands, The Barmy Army, will sponsor a team at the FairBreak Invitational Women’s Cricket T20 Tournament scheduled for Dubai from May 1-15, 2022.
Named ‘The Barmy Army’ by Australian media during England’s 1994/95 Ashes tour of Australia due to their undying loyalty and desire for having a good time in a hopeless situation, this ragtag bunch of backpackers has evolved into a world-famous supporters’ club, sports promoter and cricket brand.
To aid in the advancement of the women’s game globally, The Barmy Army has recently moved into the development of mixed cricket academies. Sponsoring a team in the FairBreak Invitational aligns with The Barmy Army’s mission to open the game to a wider audience with a focus on women, families and younger supporters.
“Spreading the joy of cricket is what the Barmy Army does well. We are delighted to have the world’s most recognisable fan-club brand sponsoring a team in our tournament,” says Shaun Martyn, FairBreak founder. “The Barmy Army has helped grow the popularity of cricket across all ages and backgrounds through their passionate support, fundraising, songs and anthems.”
Barmy Army founder, Paul Burnham, says, “FairBreak and the Barmy Army are a tremendous fit and working with Shaun and his team over the last few weeks has been truly eye opening. As an organisation, we are really excited about being involved with our first branded team and helping promote the world’s best sport globally and, obviously, winning the tournament off the field and on it!”
