Background
Bose belonged to the generation of Indian women cricketers who were active in the period when women's cricket in India was being formally organised, particularly following the establishment of the Women's Cricket Association of India (WCAI) in 1973. Domestic women's cricket in India during this era was administered separately from the men's game, and players represented state and zonal sides in national tournaments.
Significance
As one of the Indian cricketers of her time, Bose is part of the wider history of women's cricket in India, a sport that gained greater institutional support after the WCAI was merged with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2006.
