Sachin Tendulkar says he welcomes the International Cricket Council’s newly unveiled post-pregnancy return-to-play guidelines for women cricketers. In his comments, Tendulkar characterizes the rules as a “massive boost” for women’s cricket and points to their potential to support players as they return to the sport after childbirth. The ICC’s guidance is presented as a framework intended to standardize how players can resume competitive action following pregnancy, with an emphasis on enabling a smoother transition back to play. By publicly endorsing the initiative, Tendulkar adds support from a high-profile figure in the game to the ICC’s effort to address barriers that women athletes may face when balancing elite sport with pregnancy and motherhood. The reported reaction is consistent with the initiative’s stated purpose: to help create clearer, more consistent pathways for return to cricket.
