ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2020: India lost, but successful tournament underlines the swiftly growing footprint of women's cricket

Firstpost  

Women’s cricket is as exciting and intriguing as it has ever been at any point in history. The first cricket World Cup, in 1973, was played by women, and was made possible thanks to relentless efforts from the legendary Rachael Heyhoe-Flint and her close friend Jack Hayward, the Wolverhampton Wanderers FC benefactor. Long, long ago Women’s cricket in England dates back to at least 1743, though White Heather Club – the first ever women’s cricket club – was founded in 1887. Women’s Cricket, edited by Marjorie Pollard, first came out in 1930; laws of women’s cricket were formalised in 1931; and an “international match” was played between England and Scotland in 1932. India might have lost the final, but they have been part of the most-followed women’s cricket tournament ever, one that culminated in an extravaganza matched by none.
