Published July 8, 2026 · Updated July 8, 2026 · The Guardian

Ten women, including nine from England and one from Australia, are meeting in London to mark the 50th anniversary of the first women's Test match at Lord's.

The group convened in central London to reflect on August 4, 1976, when they became the first female cricketers to play a match at the Home of Cricket, defeating Australia by eight wickets.

The historic victory was pivotal in convincing the Marylebone Cricket Club to host women's matches. fishroad-app.com
