Women’s Cricket

Unlike men cricket, Women’s Cricket is yet to make a mark among the common masses. Primarily, when we discuss about Cricket, the game of cricket is usually associated with men. The Women’s Cricket has a long history to bank upon. Evidences indicate that the first women's cricket club was formed in 1887 at Nun Appleton in Yorkshire and it was accordingly named as the White Heather Club. In 1890, the then Women Cricket Players formed a team known as the Original English Lady Cricketers toured England, where they played exhibition matches in front of large crowds and it was regarded to be highly successful.
