The England women's cricket team plays for England and Wales in international women's cricket matches. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has managed the team since 1998. Before that, the Women's Cricket Association was in charge. England is a full member of the International Cricket Council. This means they play in all three main types of international cricket: Test matches, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).
The team made history by playing in the very first Women's Test match in 1934. They won this game against Australia by 9 wickets. These two teams now often play for a special trophy called The Women's Ashes. England also took part in the first Women's Cricket World Cup in 1973. They won that tournament right at home! They have won the World Cup three more times: in 1993, 2009, and 2017. After their big win in 2017, they even received the BBC Sports Team of the Year Award. The team played in the first Twenty20 International match in 2005 against New Zealand. They also won the first-ever ICC Women's World Twenty20 in 2009. While they have reached the finals many times since, they have not won the T20 World Cup again.

History of England Women's Cricket
Early Days of Women's Cricket
The England team played in the very first Women's Test series in 1934–35. Led by Captain Betty Archdale, they toured Australia and were welcomed by the crowds. England won the first two Test matches and drew the third, winning the series! On their way home, they also beat New Zealand. In that game, Betty Snowball scored an amazing 189 runs, a record that stood for 50 years.
A star player from this time was Myrtle Maclagan. She was an all-rounder, meaning she was great at both batting and bowling. Myrtle scored the first-ever century in a women's Test match in January 1935. A couple of years later, England faced their first Test defeat against Australia in Northampton. Even though they lost, Myrtle Maclagan helped them win the next Test with 115 runs and five wickets. The series ended in a 1–1 tie.
Battles for the Ashes
In 1948–49, England toured Australia again for a Test series. They lost The Women's Ashes to Australia, but players like Molly Hide and Myrtle Maclagan showed great skill. Molly Hide even scored a century to help draw a game. England then beat New Zealand in a Test match.
In 1951, Australia visited England. After a draw, England took a lead thanks to Mary Duggan's five wickets. However, they lost the Ashes again, even though they won the final Test. Mary Duggan was a fantastic bowler, taking nine wickets in that last game.
England had their first series win since their very first one when they played New Zealand in 1954. They won one Test and drew two others.
Mary Duggan became captain for the 1957–58 tour of Australia and New Zealand. In a match against Australia, she set a new Test record. She took seven wickets for only six runs! This record stood for 38 years. However, Australia's Betty Wilson also performed amazingly. She took seven wickets for seven runs and scored a century in the same match. This made her the first player to score a hundred and take ten wickets in a Test match. Despite these incredible performances, many games ended in draws.
A Decade Without Defeat
The 1960s were a great time for England women's cricket. They played 14 Test matches and didn't lose any of them! Most of these games, ten, ended in a draw.
Their first series in this decade was against South Africa. Captained by 23-year-old Helen Sharpe, England won the series 1–0.
In 1963, England achieved a significant series win against Australia. This was their last series victory over Australia for 42 years! Captain Mary Duggan scored her second Test century in her final Test match. England won the deciding game at The Oval in an exciting finish.
Rachael Heyhoe-Flint became captain in 1966. She scored her first Test century in her very first match as captain against New Zealand. Many games during this period were draws.
On a tour in 1968–69, England successfully defended the Ashes with another 0–0 draw. A new player, Enid Bakewell, made a big impact. She scored a century in her first Test. Bakewell continued to shine in New Zealand, scoring two more centuries and taking many wickets. She was a top performer in both batting and bowling on that tour.
The First World Cup Victory
In 1969–70 and 1970–71, England toured the West Indies. These tours were sponsored by Sir Jack Hayward. After talking with England captain Heyhoe-Flint, Hayward and the Women's Cricket Association decided to create the first-ever Women's Cricket World Cup. This was a huge moment for cricket!
The tournament took place in 1973. England had two teams: a "Young England" side and the main senior team. The senior England team won four of their first five games. In the final match at Edgbaston, Enid Bakewell scored her second century of the tournament. England scored a huge 273 runs. They then limited Australia to 187 runs, winning the World Cup!
Modern Era Successes
In the 2005 World Cup, England reached the semi-finals but lost to Australia. However, they then won the two-Test series against Australia 1–0. This meant they won The Women's Ashes for the first time in 42 years! The team was even celebrated alongside the victorious men's team in Trafalgar Square.
Charlotte Edwards became captain in 2006 after Clare Connor retired. In 2008, England toured Australia and kept the Ashes after winning a Test match in Bowral. Isa Guha took nine wickets in that game, earning her the player of the match award.
England won the 2009 World Cup in Australia, beating New Zealand in the final. Claire Taylor was the best batter, and Laura Marsh was the best bowler. England also won the first-ever Twenty20 World Championship at Lord's in 2009. Katherine Brunt bowled brilliantly in the final, and Claire Taylor again led the batting. England finished the season by keeping the Ashes after a drawn Test match.
2012 World Twenty20 Journey
England was a favorite for the 2012 ICC Women's World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka. They had been unbeaten for 18 months before the tournament. England started with a win against Pakistan, with Charlotte Edwards and Laura Marsh scoring well. They then easily beat India to qualify for the knockout stage.
In their final group game, England beat Australia in an exciting match. Sarah Taylor and Danielle Wyatt played key roles in chasing down Australia's score. This momentum carried them to the semi-finals, where they defeated New Zealand.
The final was against Australia in Colombo. Australia set a challenging score of 142 runs. England struggled to keep up with the required runs. Despite strong efforts from players like Jenny Gunn, Australia won the final by just 4 runs. Charlotte Edwards was named player of the tournament for scoring the most runs.
2013 Women's World Cup Challenge
After the T20 World Cup, England went to India for the 2013 Women's Cricket World Cup, aiming to defend their 2009 title. Their tournament started with a surprising loss to Sri Lanka. Despite good scores from Jenny Gunn and Amy Jones, Sri Lanka won by one wicket in the final over.
England bounced back with a win against India, with Charlotte Edwards scoring her 7th ODI century. They then beat the West Indies to qualify for the Super Sixes stage. However, Sri Lanka's unexpected win over India meant England carried fewer points into the next round.
In the Super Sixes, England lost a close match to Australia by three runs. They then played brilliantly against South Africa, bowling them out for only 77 runs. Anya Shrubsole took five wickets in that game. England chased the target quickly, boosting their run rate.
In their last Super Sixes match, England beat New Zealand. However, the West Indies had a surprise win over Australia, meaning England did not reach the final. England finished 3rd in the tournament, beating New Zealand again in the playoff. Charlotte Edwards scored a match-winning century and became the first woman to score 5,000 runs in ODIs.
2013 Ashes Victory
In 2013, Paul Shaw became the new coach. England played Pakistan in a series, giving younger players a chance. They won the ODI series 2–0.
The Ashes series began with a four-day Test match. Australia scored well, but Heather Knight and Laura Marsh had a huge partnership for England. Knight scored 157 runs, earning her player of the match. The match ended in a draw.
The Ashes now included ODIs and T20Is, with points for each win. England lost the first ODI but came back to win the next two, taking a series lead. Charlotte Edwards scored her 6th consecutive ODI fifty.
In the T20 series, England won the first match thanks to Sarah Taylor's 77 runs. In the second game, Lydia Greenway scored an unbeaten 80 runs under pressure, leading England to victory and winning back the Ashes! England then easily won the final match, securing the Ashes 12–4. Heather Knight received the player of the series award.
Professional Era: 2014 to Present
In February 2014, the ECB started investing more in women's cricket. They offered central contracts to 18 players, making cricket a full-time job for them.
In October 2019, the ECB announced plans to expand the women's game even further. They added 40 new full-time contracted players. These players are part of new regional teams across the country.
Wales' Role in England Cricket
The England women's cricket team represents both England and Wales. This is because they are part of the England and Wales Cricket Board. Because of this, Welsh cricketers like Lynne Thomas have played for England.
Cricket Wales supports the ECB. The Wales women's national cricket team plays as a domestic team in county cricket. They competed in the Women's County Championship until 2019 and still play in the Women's Twenty20 Cup. Wales is also part of the new regional cricket structure, with the Western Storm team and Welsh Fire in The Hundred.
