Over 10,000 tickets were sold for England's Twenty20 International against Pakistan, shattering the previous record for the most people to see a women's match at Headingley. On Thursday, May 23, England will kick off their three-match ODI series against the tourists.
Sunday's Twenty20 International at Headingley between England and Pakistan broke attendance records for women's cricket.
Over 10,000 tickets were sold for the game, which was a record for the stadium.
Stephen Vaughan, Yorkshire's chief executive said: "The crowd and the atmosphere around the stadium was awesome. You could feel it walking around the ground. It was a great crowd, with people from all communities, families and children, and lots of smiling faces. I hope the girls watching from the stands on Sunday will be inspired to go on to pick up a bat and ball if they haven't already and go on to play cricket, either recreationally or at a higher level potentially enjoying rewarding careers in the sport," Vaughan added. We congratulate England's women on yesterday's strong performance and look forward to giving the men's side a warm welcome back to Yorkshire on Wednesday."
