IN-W Playing 11: Cricket is growing with leaps and bounds. In the quest to help the sport get global recognition, for the first time in history Cricket will be a port of the Commonwealth Games. The 2022 Commonwealth Games set to take in Birmingham, England will see Women’s Cricket as a sport for the first time, however, the wait for Men’s Cricket will continue.
In the first women’s cricket match of the Commonwealth games, WT20I champions Australia women will be taking on India women in Edgbaston Birmingham. India women have named a few changes in their 15-member squad for the Commonwealth Games and it would be an exciting prospect to see how they would lineup in the first fixture against a belligerent Australian Women team.
