The India women's national cricket team, also known as Team India or Women in Blue,[9] represents India in women's international cricket. It is governed by Board of Control for Cricket in India

India made its Test debut in 1976,[10] against the West Indies, and its One Day International (ODI) debut at the 1978 World Cup, which it hosted. India made its T20I debut in 2006, against England.

The team has made the ODI World Cup final on two occasions, losing to Australia by 98 runs in 2005 and losing to England by 9 runs in 2017. India has made the semi-finals on three other occasions, in 1997, 2000, and 2009. India has also made the finals of the T20I World Cup on one occasion (2020) and the semi-finals on three occasions (2009, 2010, and 2018).

The British brought cricket to India in the early 1700s, with the first documented instance of cricket being played is in 1721. It was played and adopted by Kolis of Gujarat because they were sea pirates and outlaws who always loot the British ships so East India Company tried to manage the Kolis in cricket and been successful.[11][12] The first Indian cricket club was established by the Parsi community in Bombay, in 1848; the club played their first match against the Europeans in 1877.[13] The first official Indian cricket team was formed in 1911 and toured England, where they played English county teams.[14] The India team made their Test debut against England in 1932.[15] Around the same time (1934), the first women's Test was played between England and Australia.[16] However, women's cricket arrived in India much later; the Women's Cricket Association of India was formed in 1973.[17] The Indian women's team played their first Test match in 1976, against the West Indies.[18] India recorded its first-ever Test win in November 1978 against West Indies under Shantha Rangaswamy's captaincy at the Moin-ul-Haq Stadium in Patna.[19][20]

In 1973 Women's Cricket Association of India, the governing body for women's cricket was founded in Pune, Maharashtra. Premala Chavan was its first president. It was affiliated to International Women's Cricket Council. As part of the International Cricket Council's initiative to develop women's cricket, the Women's Cricket Association of India was merged with the Board of Control for Cricket in India in 2006/07.[21]

In 2021, the BCCI announced that Ramesh Powar would become the Head Coach of the Indian Women's Cricket Team.[22][23] In 2022, Indian Women script history by winning 1st series on England soil in 23 years.[24]
