Indian Women’s Cricket Team vice captain with a memorial service women too world Test Championship Tournament Expressed the wish that it should be.
But, according to England veteran Tammy Beaumont, there are only three women’s teams in the world that primarily play Test cricket, so it would not be appropriate to hold the tournament. The ICC World Test Championship in men’s cricket started in 2019.
Currently, the third session of this competition is going on. There is no such competition in women’s cricket. In women’s cricket, only India, England and Australia play regular Test cricket.

With a memorial service while talking to the media on Tuesday, he shed light on various issues. “I would definitely love to be a part of the World Test Championship. However, the Board and the ICC will take a decision on that. I have seen a lot of men’s cricket, so playing in such a tournament would be a big deal,” said Smriti.
Test match between India and England will be played from Thursday. The Indian team is hosting the Test after two years, while the England team is playing the Test after six months.
England’s Beaumont, who stepped into international cricket a decade ago and played eight Tests, said, “I don’t think the time is right for a women’s WTC.” At present only three to four teams are playing Test cricket.
ICC will have to invest heavily in this and as far as I know they don’t think they will. They are still working for the growth of Twenty20 cricket around the world and that should be the focus.
There is a need to play more and more bilateral series in all three formats.
