Currently in the country locked up due to the new coronavirus pandemic, Perry had recently opened up on the subject of the lack of financial and sporting problems facing cricket boards in various countries due to the closure.
Boards like Cricket Australia are facing a financial crisis and were forced to lay off most of their staff, but Perry believes that governing bodies will seek new ways to generate revenue.
“Sport in general is tough and I can’t see it having a lasting negative effect,” Perry told the Australian Associated Press.
“It certainly has caused organizations to reconsider how they handle their sports and their codes and potentially bring it back to what’s really important.”
“That is not necessarily a bad thing. I don’t think it will affect women’s sport. It becomes so clear that if you want your entire population to participate in your code, you must involve the entire population. And part of that is having women participate.” he added.
