Background
Domestic women's cricket in India is organised through state and zonal associations affiliated to the BCCI, with tournaments such as the Senior Women's One Day Trophy and the Senior Women's T20 Trophy forming the principal pathway for players aspiring to represent India at the international level. Players from Gujarat, Saurashtra and other regions of western India have featured in this circuit alongside athletes from across the country.
Significance
Cricketers featured in cohorts of Indian players documented on Wikidata reflect the broadening base of the sport in India, where participation by women has grown markedly following the merger of the Women's Cricket Association of India with the BCCI in 2006 and the subsequent introduction of central contracts and the Women's Premier League.
