ABSTRACT

This chapter takes the form of a short epilogue. It argues that there is a growing awareness of the importance of establishing gender parity in cricket, but also in economic and social life in general. The unequal treatment of women is not just bad for women; it hurts men too. The goal of gender parity can be commended not just on grounds of social justice but also because it makes economic sense. The only question is the speed of travel towards this goal. Making haste slowly may be a prudent strategy. But, in striking a balance between speed and caution, one should not overemphasise the latter to the detriment of the former.
