Jhulan Goswami’s setting a world record in women’s cricket is special for its own reasons (Editorial – “Simply the best”, May 13). Traditionally in cricket, India has never been known to produce quality fast bowlers in any format. The BCCI has only recently started acknowledging the importance of women’s cricket, but more needs to be done.
I recollect Mithali Raj attributing the poor performance of the Indian women’s cricket team to the lack of exposure to international cricket. More international tournaments need to be planned to address this lacuna. We can also think in terms of a women’s IPL (Australia Big Bash League has it), with free entry for spectators.
