After the Indian women’s cricket team played One-Off Test matches against England and Australia at home, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to start women’s days cricket in the month of March-April. The richest cricket board in the world didn’t have any domestic multi-day events for women since 2018. We don’t have red ball cricket for the women’s team (currently) and the BCCI felt it’s time to start day’s cricket as well as domestic cricket for womens,” a BCCI official confirmed to The Indian Express. While in Australia, the last multi-day women’s domestic cricket was the finals series of the Australian Women’s Cricket Championship (pre-cursor to the WNCL) in 1994/95,” Leather said. I request the BCCI to have at least one domestic tournament every year for the longer version.
