    The ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 marks an important event in the international cricket calendar for women. The event has another significance as it records 50 years of international women's cricket for India.

    For women, cricket began in India in 1969 with the establishment of the first women's cricket club, The Albies, in Mumbai. The start was not easy and in the 1970s, Mahendra Kumar Sharma, the then-biggest promoter of women's cricket, used to attract the crowd with USP, to see the women cricketers playing in skirts, on loudspeaker, sitting in an autorickshaw and moving on the streets of Lucknow.
