Women’s Cricket, after being practically overshadowed for the longest time, has finally started to witness the growth which it rightfully deserved all along. The stakes are now much higher with the viewership tally breaching records almost throughout the season’s calendar. A testament to this would be the final of the ICC’s T20 World Cup Final between India and Australia in the year 2020, which saw close to 87,000 spectators in attendance at the magnificent Melbourne Cricket Ground.
This in the truest sense depicts the trends of development around women’s cricket at all levels. A greater number of fans means greater coverage and this leads to the emergence of superstars of the sport. Today, cricket fans of a country would know a great deal about their Women’s Cricket teams as well, the teams which work just as hard as their male counterparts and in the process inspire millions of young girls to take up the sport.
One of the most dominating teams in the International Women’s Cricket circuit is England, being at the 2nd spot on the T20I rankings and 3rd on the ODI rankings. Let’s look at the team members with some numbers showing what makes the team a ruthless force.
