ICC to replace 'batsman' with 'batter' from T20 World Cup onwards
India Today
The International Cricket Council on Thursday decided to replace 'batsman' with the gender-neutral term 'batter' in all its playing conditions starting with this month's men's T20 World Cup, describing the move as a "natural and overdue evolution" in the sport.
The International Cricket Council will change "batsman" to the gender-neutral term "batter" in its playing conditions starting from this month's T20 World Cup, the world governing body said on Thursday.
Last month, the Marylebone Cricket Club announced it would be replacing the word 'batsman' with 'batter' in the Laws of Cricket. That change will now be reflected across all ICC playing conditions going forward.
