From U19 WC to Tests, 2023 has been the year of women's cricket
The Morning Standard
|December 19, 2023
IN the grand old tradition of Sangeet Natak (musical drama), as they are called in Maharashtra, every musical starts with a Nandee.
It is sung by the entire cast of the musical, asking almighty for blessings before starting the show. Not for personal glory or individual accolades, but for the entire unit.
2023, when it comes to women's cricket, feels like a grand old Nandee. The year that started with the inaugural U19 T20 World Cup in South Africa ending with two back-to-back Tests in India feels a little different for more than one reason. Many fans or even casual followers of women's cricket in India would remember December 2022 for a special reason. Even though the hosts could not win the fivematch T20I series against Australia in Mumbai, the loud and proud fans showed up for every single match at two venues - DY Patil Stadium and the Cricket Club of India (CCI) ground. The next high-octane clash between the two sides ended up being the semifinal of the T20 World Cup.
