Women’s Cricket isn’t given the same limelight that the men’s matches get, unless they win an international tournament that we weren’t even aware of!

What’s more unfortunate is that there aren’t as many photographs documenting women play cricket around the world as compared to their counterparts. But from what I did find online, there seems to have been a massive evolution of what they wore on the field.

After extensive Google searches, these are what I could find:

What I noticed was that as years passed, the clothes women wore while playing kept changing to something comfortable. From corset-dresses to long skirts, from those to short skirts to skorts. 

For those who live under a rock, this is what women wear on field now…
