In January 2020, Cricket Brasil announced it was awarding 14 central contracts for its women’s national team. It was the first instance of a cricket board awarding full-time contracts to its female athletes ahead of its men's team.




Roberta joins Jay Dansinghani to talk about what life was like before cricket was professionalized in Brazil and what things are like now. She also talks about Cricket Brasil's initiatives to grow the game at the grassroots and age-group levels, players to watch out for, and how surviving thyroid cancer made her both a better athlete and a better human being.
