Community Spotlight heads to Gibraltar during the inaugural Women’s International in 2023 for a conversation with one of Sweden’s key figures in women’s cricket. 🎙️

Vinny Sandhu catches up with Gunjan Shukla, captain of the Sweden Women’s national team, who reflects on the importance of playing against more experienced, higher-level sides as a crucial part of development. She explains how that exposure helps younger players grow and why her leadership approach is built around leading by example.

Gunjan also looks back on an outstanding all-round performance, impressing with both bat and ball — scoring 49 runs at a strike rate of 128.95 and taking 5 wickets with an economy of 6.69. Beyond the international stage, she highlights the remarkable domestic growth of women’s cricket in Sweden, where the number of women’s clubs has grown from just one to nine in the space of two years, creating more opportunities and competitions nationwide.
