The struggle of the women cricket team is one that has been going on since 1973 when the Indian Women's Cricket Association was formed. The team played their first Test match first Test match in 1976-77, when they drew with the West Indies in a six-match series. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_women's_cricket_team
Despite having produced some of the best players in the world, India is one of only 13 nations that have women's teams playing one-day international cricket, and one of only seven where women play test matches. Today, the Indian team is ranked number three, after Australia and England. http://www.boloji.com/wfs2/wfs216.htm
Diana Eduljee was the first captain of the women’s team – from 1978 till 1993. With 120 wickets to her name, she remains the highest wicket taker in the Indian camp. She got the Arjun award in 1983. Her compatriots Rajani Venugopal, Shanta Rangaswami, Shubhangi Kulkarni were all veterans of the game in India. In order to encourage members of the team of today to perform to their potential, the newly formed BCCI could consider extending suitable financial incentives to the Women in Blue. They also represent India on the World stage Like the Men in Blue. They certainly deserve better treatment; they should be given recognition and not neglect.
