The International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to grant ODI and Test status to all full-member women’s cricket teams. It means that Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, and Afghanistan are now free to play Test cricket.

Thus far, only ten teams, namely India, West Indies, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, South Africa, Netherlands, Ireland, England, Australia, and Pakistan have had the privilege of playing Test cricket.

“It was decided that Test and ODI status shall be permanently awarded to all Full Member women’s teams,” the apex cricket board was quoted as saying on Thursday, April 1, reported by BDcrictime.
