A lot has evolved and changed in women's sport in the last 10 years - particularly football and cricket. So, I think my timing, in terms of being able to play both for a while, was fortunate.
There has been a positive change with people being aware about women's cricket of late. It's still far from what it needs to be, but women are slowly getting the right recognition for this game.
Many England girls have grown up playing men's cricket and trained in county men's academies, so they've faced 70-80 mph bowling. So when it comes to the women's game you have a 75mph bowler who's not as tall and not getting as much bounce, you feel more assured.
In 2015, I was privileged to host the first ever televised Women's Test match during the 2015 Women's Ashes on Sky Sports, which saw every game covered of the multi-format series.
I think T20 cricket has become the flagship spectacle for women's cricket.
Honestly, direct monetary comparisons aren't helpful. If you're going to look at remuneration, you have to be realistic about what revenue we're bringing in for the organisation and the sport. And as it currently stands, women's cricket is still a cost to the business.
It is important for big names such as Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri to get on board and recognise that women do actually understand the game and they can play as well.
It's not that there has never been a keen following for women's cricket in India.
England Women regularly play against Under-15 and U-17 county men's sides, which is great for the girls to take them out of their comfort zones. It's important to find a balance, though, because the way in which women's cricket is played is still very different.
For me looking at the success of some of the women's football World Cups, the crowds they've drawn, the spectacle it has created and the event that it's been I think it's really great cricket is having a go at that as well.
I realised my dream of playing for England when I first met Claire Taylor and then Charlotte Edwards at the age of 11. I didn't even know there was an England Women's team until then.
I am following the IPL. I think it would be great for the women's game, creating more competition and showcasing the world's best players from different countries. It would also be a stepping-stone to women's cricket becoming professional.
I think most girls would say they'd love to play more Tests if it was possible.
I think at some level the ICC is trying to promote the women's game globally and that requires them to focus more on ODI and T20I cricket. They are trying to revive the game.
Cricket is not gender biased. It isn't that men's cricket is different and women's a different one.
With tournaments such as the Women's Big Bash and the Kia Super League, women are now well practised in the art of big strokeplay.
In the early days, when I first got into the WI team, when the Ws were playing, I would sit and watch. When you could learn from watching players like that, it was a great joy to watch them play.
The more you win, the brand of women's cricket will go higher.
Broadcasters realise there is a large percentage of women that watch cricket and it was the Caribbean Premier League that first got me to commentate a men's international T20.
'Kanaa' is a rare opportunity; it's about women's cricket, and they've trusted me with this film. I trained for nearly four hours every day with three coaches.
It was nice to receive the ICC woman's cricketer of the year award because when Jhulan Goswami won the award I was very young.
I wasn't aware of women's cricket until I was 10. We grew up following the men's game.
It's not just about women's cricket, but everywhere, every athlete's momentum has been broken because of Covid-19.
But if you have live matches and there is TV coverage, I'm sure you have more viewership because people would love to see women's cricket again on television.
It's an honour to play a woman cricketer on screen.
