Women's game deserves DRS

Many sports codes have managed to find equality in terms of opportunities for men and women.

Cricket has a long way to go it seems to become one of those sports.

Much has been said about the shortage of women's Test matches on the global circuit, but it's worth noting again. The Proteas women have played only 16 Tests since 1960, and only four in the last 10 years.

Granted, they played three four-day matches this year, which indicated that cricket authorities were starting to take the women's game more seriously in the classic format. But at this stage the Proteas don't know when they will play another Test, with none yet scheduled for next year.
