Dr Raf Nicholson reveals the untold story of the history of Women’s Cricket in England. After a historic summer with the World Cup at home and the first Women’s Test played at Lord’s Daniel Norcross and Alison Mitchell spoke to Dr Raf Nicholson, one of the leading writers and historians of the Women’s game. We hear about some of the giants who pioneered Women’s cricket, including Edith Bakewell and Rachael Heyhoe-Flint, and we discover how the women’s game came to the fore with the invention of frequent round bowling, the first World Cup, the first T20 international and England’s first franchise tournament. There is a fascinating story of how Nicholson unearthed some previously unpublished archive of the early development of Women’s cricket in this country.
