On ESPNcricinfo's Powerplay podcast, Valkerie Baynes and Firdose Moonda recently caught up with Lauren Down , the New Zealand batter who toured England just six months after giving birth, as well as her team-mate Lea Tahuhu and South Africa's Masabata Klaas , who has just been named winner of the Makhaya Ntini Power of Cricket Award. They share their experiences of becoming mothers amid elite sporting careers, while Baynes and Moonda look at various boards' approaches to pregnancy and parenthood in a rapidly changing landscape which has seen cricket playing catch-up to other employers.
