MUMBAI: Riding on the success of the Indian women’s team’s performance at the recently concluded Women’s World Cup, the Board of Control for Cricket in India plans to introduce India A tours for women’s cricket and expand the U-16 domestic zonal tournament to the all-India level.
The BCCI women’s committee will meet on Wednesday to decide the road ahead for women’s cricket in the country.
Committee Of Administrators (COA) member Diana Edulji, current ODI captain Mithali Raj and senior pacer Jhulan Goswami are part of the committee.
The meeting is also likely to discuss the lack of international assignments for the national team. A BCCI official told PTI that the board is keen that the team plays a tri-series along with the bilateral series, since the next assignment for India will probably be the ICC ODI Championship next year.
Having more domestic events and A tours will also go a long way in creating a big enough pool for the Women’s IPL, the official said.
