The Chinese women's cricket team is the team that represents the People's Republic of China in international women's cricket matches.
The first time Chinese women cricketers making their international debut was in September 2006 in a Sixes game against Scotland in Shanghai, losing by 59 runs..[1] However, the side was not recognised by the Chinese Cricket Association as the official team.[citation needed]
The official Chinese National Women Team was incepted in May 2007.[citation needed] After the National Cricket Tournament Final, a total of 21 girls from 19 school teams were gathered in Shenzhen and underwent vigorous centralised training before a final 14 squad was sent to Bangkok for the ACC Women's Tournament 2007.[citation needed] The team turn up to be a semi-finalist.[citation needed]
The team was coached by Rashid Khan and captained by MEI Chun-hua, a right arm fast-bowler and final year student from the Shanghai Tongji University.[citation needed] Other notable players included WANG Meng, a consistent fast bowler and HU Tingting, who turned up to be the best batsman for China during the ACC Tournament.[citation needed] Both WANG and HU were students from the Shenyang Sports Institute.[citation needed]
In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) decided to grant full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all it's members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between China women and other ICC members after 1 July 2018 will be a full WT20I.[1]
