From WCAI To WPL, 50-year Journey Of Indian Women's Cricket
Women's cricket in India owes its birth to the Women's Cricket Association of India (WCAI), whose founder-cum-secretary Mahendra Kumar Sharma got it registered under the Societies Act of Lucknow in 1973. WCAI's first President was Premala Chavan, late former Congress MP and mother of Prithviraj Chavan, ex-Maharashtra Chief Minister.
In the same year, the WCAI also received the International Women's Cricket Council's (IWCC) membership as well. A women's inter-state national tournament began in 1973 with three teams - Mumbai, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
