Women cricketers compete against men on the field to improve their skills and to handle pressure better. But is there a case where they can compete with men in off-field activities? In the IOL website, Rodney Hartman looks at the changing face of Women’s cricket.
It's not often that men's and women's cricket teams play one another but this seems to be gaining in popularity and value.

It is being said that those best likely to qualify would be wicketkeepers or spin bowlers.
