The International Cricket Council has unveiled the official anthem for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025, with acclaimed Indian playback singer Shreya Ghoshal lending her voice to Bring it Home. The song, released on Thursday, is designed to capture the energy, unity, and determination that define the tournament.
A blend of rhythm, melody, and uplifting lyrics, Bring it Home is expected to resonate with cricket fans across the world. With its infectious beats and celebratory tone, the track sets the stage for the 13th edition of the Women’s World Cup, which will run from September 30 to November 2. Matches will be played across four venues in India, Navi Mumbai, Guwahati, Indore, and Visakhapatnam, and in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The lyrics highlight perseverance and passion, honouring the resilience of women cricketers who continue to push boundaries. Phrases such as “We have to melt stones and forge a new history” underscore the theme of breaking barriers. The anthem also employs rhythmic refrains and drum-inspired motifs to echo the heartbeat of the game, with lines that emphasise the collective dream of victory.
For Shreya Ghoshal, being associated with the event is more than a performance credit. In a statement, she described the experience as an honour, noting that the song aims to celebrate the spirit, strength, and unity of women’s cricket. She said she hoped the anthem would inspire fans and create lasting memories during the tournament.
The World Cup itself promises to be the most accessible in history, with record-low ticket prices starting at ₹100 (approximately USD 1.14). The ICC has positioned this move as part of a broader effort to make the event inclusive and to build a larger fan base for women’s cricket. Tickets have already gone on sale through the official portal, Tickets.cricketworldcup.com.

By choosing an Indian voice for the anthem, the ICC also acknowledged India’s role as host and its significance in women’s cricket’s growth story. The combination of affordable access, a multi-country format, and a unifying anthem reflects the effort to make the 2025 event a celebration beyond sport.With the stage now set musically and organisationally, the focus shifts to the players and the matches that will unfold over the five-week tournament. For fans, Bring it Home is likely to become the soundtrack of a competition that promises both high-level cricket and an atmosphere of inclusivity and celebration.
