In a recent online seminar hosted by the ICC cricket , sports academic Candice MacMillan delved into a topic rarely discussed in the world of cricket – menstruation and athletic performance. With a refreshing perspective, she challenged athletes to ask themselves: “Are you a thriver or a survivor during your menstruation cycle?” Candice emphasized that understanding and embracing the menstrual cycle is crucial for female athletes. Notably, she highlighted the need for coaches to engage in open conversations about their players’ cycles, as this awareness can significantly impact performance and overall well-being. To gain a deeper insight into this groundbreaking seminar, watch the video below and join the conversation on how we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for athletes in the world of cricket.
We would like to express our gratitude to the International Cricket Council (ICC) for hosting this informative seminar and to Candice MacMillan for sharing her valuable insights with the cricket community.
