LONDON: The MCC on Wednesday announced amendments to the Laws of Cricket to use the gender-neutral terms “batter” and “batters”, rather than “batsman” or “batsmen”.

MCC felt that the use of gender-neutral terminology would help reinforce cricket’s status as an inclusive game for all.

These changes have been approved by the MCC Committee, following initial discussion by the Club’s specialist Laws sub-committee.
