Women's Test cricket
Categories: Cricket stubs | Women's cricket
Women's Test cricket is the long form of women's international cricket. Most of the matches are scheduled to last four days, which is one day less than men's Test matches. Women also play one-day international cricket. Unlike their male counterparts the players are amateurs, but the sport has a fairly high profile compared to other women's team sports in several countries.
The first women's Test match was played by England and Australia in the 1934-35 season. By 2004 nine countries had played women's Test matches, as follows:
