Oct 7 (Reuters) - Leading women cricketers and the Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA) have called on Cricket Australia (CA) to schedule more matches during the peak summer months, arguing the current calendar is limiting the team's growth.
Australia begin their home season with three one-day internationals against Bangladesh in Brisbane before a three-match Twenty20 series against New Zealand in Sydney, all before the end of October.
The world's top-ranked ODI and T20 side will not play another home series until New Zealand's ODI tour in March. Under the current ICC calendar, there will be no Women's Big Bash League or women's internationals during Australian school holidays for at least the next three years.
"The scheduling of the 2026-27 home summer in not playing any matches in Australia between 23 October to 5 March is disappointing, concerning and a missed opportunity to continue to build on the growth of the women's game in Australia," ACA head of women's cricket Holly Ferling said in a statement on Wednesday.
"Our team at the ACA have been progressing a piece of work on a Women's Vision Plan, furthering our enduring commitment to continue to build, grow and develop the women's game in Australia."
Australia's most-capped player Ellyse Perry expressed similar concerns last month.

10 月 7 日（路透社）——澳大利亚女子板球队的领军人物和澳大利亚板球运动员协会 (ACA) 呼吁澳大利亚板球协会 (CA) 在夏季高峰期安排更多比赛，他们认为目前的赛程安排限制了球队的发展。
澳大利亚将在布里斯班与孟加拉国进行三场一日国际赛，开启主场赛季；随后在悉尼与新西兰进行三场二十20系列赛，所有这些比赛都将在10月底之前举行。
世界排名第一的女子板球队（ODI和T20）要等到3月份新西兰的ODI巡回赛才会再次进行主场系列赛。根据目前的国际板球理事会（ICC）赛程安排，至少在未来三年内，澳大利亚学校假期期间不会有女子板球联赛（Women's Big Bash League）或女子国际比赛。
“2026-27赛季主场夏季赛程的安排，即10月23日至3月5日期间不在澳大利亚进行任何比赛，这令人失望、担忧，也错失了继续推动澳大利亚女子板球运动发展的机会，”澳大利亚板球协会女子板球负责人霍莉·费林周三在一份声明中表示。
“我们ACA团队一直在推进一项关于女子愿景计划的工作，进一步体现了我们长期以来致力于在澳大利亚建设、发展和壮大女子板球运动的承诺。”
澳大利亚出场次数最多的球员埃莉斯·佩里上个月也表达了类似的担忧。
