Women’s cricket in India is just about to boom and take off: Steve Waugh

Former Australian cricketer Steve Waugh has predicted a major boost to women's cricket in India now that India have a Women's World Cup title to their name. The Women in Blue recently scripted history by winning their maiden Women's World Cup title. This was attained on Sunday, November 2, when they defeated South Africa by 52 runs in the summit clash in Navi Mumbai.

Waugh commended the manner in which the Harmanpreet Kaur-led unit bounced back after three back-to-back defeats in the league phase. He also hailed the World Cup-winning squad to be role models for the aspiring young girls of the country.
