It may not seem like it but women’s cricket originated as far back as 1745. A report records the first women’s cricket match to have occurred on July 26th in 1745. The match was between eleven maids from Bramley, and eleven Hambledon Each team of the women was said to be sporting an all-white attire that followed the traditional outfit sported by male players.
Unlike men’s cricket, the first women’s club (White Heather Club) wasn’t formed until the late eighteen hundreds in Yorkshire. And it wasn’t until three years until the first-ever women’s team was able to tour England. In other places across the globe, leagues started cropping up towards the tail end of 1894. Australia, Canada, and South Africa each began setting up their own teams. For a long time, the women’s cricket division was managed by the IWCC or International Women’s Cricket Council before it was merged with the ICC or International Cricket Council in 2005. The merger created a consolidated body that helped further develop and manage various cricket leagues worldwide.
