History

The China women's national cricket team in 2007

The Chinese women cricketers made their international debut in September 2006 in a Sixes game against Scotland in Shanghai, losing by 59 runs.[5] However, the side was not recognised by the Chinese Cricket Association as the official team.[citation needed]

The official Chinese women's national 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-player squad was sent to Bangkok for the ACC Women's Tournament 2007.[citation needed] The team managed to reach the semi-finals.[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 its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between China women and other ICC members after 1 July 2018 have been full WT20I.[6]

On 13 January 2019, in their match against the Arab Emirates, the team was bowled out for 14 runs, at the time the lowest total in a Women's T20I match.[7][8]

In December 2020, the ICC announced the qualification pathway for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup.[9] China were named in the 2021 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier regional group, alongside seven other teams.[10]
