Women’s cricket is being featured in the Commonwealth Games for the first time. Women’s cricket will debut in one of its quickest and most exciting formats, the T20 format, at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
A men’s 50-over competition of cricket was played once, in Kuala Lumpur in 1998. At that time, South Africa took home the gold. Since then, never has cricket found its place in the games.
It is exciting to see women roaring and competing for the medal. Let’s take a look at the different Team’s Cricket squads at Common Wealth Games 2022:
