Teams like Australia, England and New Zealand has played few international matches as well as domestic competitions. After their cancelled tour against England, There has been no official update over the future of indian women’s cricket.
A cricket.com.au article last week stated: “Australia’s next international engagement remains up in the air, with no confirmation that a planned three-game ODI series against India – scheduled as preparation for the now-delayed World Cup – will go ahead in January.”
India women’s proposed tour of Australia in January 2021 looks set to be rescheduled to later in the year. This means that Indian team will be resuming cricket nearly after a year. BCCI has been in talks with Sri Lanka Board for a limited overs tour in February. It maybe a either home or away series. We may host South African Team in April Or May.
Shanta Rangaswamy, former India women’s captain and current member of the BCCI’s apex council, stressed that “If a bio-bubble can be created for the England men’s team, they can do it for a women’s team also “.
She also added that “But it will be an expensive affair – creation of bio-bubbles. So, they will look at the economics of it before taking a call. But I’m positive that the BCCI office-bearers will not hesitate to spend on the development of the game.”
It has been clear that BCCI has not making any effective plans to bring the women’s domestic cricket anytime soon. Hope their annual meeting will have some hopeful news for us.
