Just as silly I suppose as this:-

Now I can't really see a need, a male 'batter' is still a 'batsman' a female 'batter' is still a 'batswoman', males & females don't at the moment compete in the same teams so until they do why change it? Unless? it's to cover the whole of cricket in gender neutral gloop in which case if you are 'gender neutral, surely you don't qualify to play for any of the official teams.
