New Delhi: India’s emphatic 270-run victory over England in the first-ever women’s Test at Lord’s in London has strengthened the case for expanding red-ball cricket in the women’s game, former India captain Shantha Rangaswamy said, urging the BCCI to revive longer-format domestic competitions across age groups.
The Indian women’s team produced one of the finest victories in its history as Yastika Bhatia struck a memorable century at the ‘home of cricket’, while Kranti Gaud claimed a five-wicket haul to enter the Lord’s honours board.
Off-spinner Sneh Rana then sealed the win with four wickets in the second innings.
