LONDON: Lord’s, the Home of Cricket since 1814, will mark another milestone on Friday when England and India step out for the first women’s test match at the sport’s most famous venue. The four-day test comes 50 years on from Rachael Heyhoe-Flint leading England out for the first women’s match at Lord’s. “It’s a huge honor and a privilege to be walking out there tomorrow,” said England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt on Thursday. “I think we are pretty deserved of being here and we’ll relish the opportunity. “We are looking forward to such a special week here at Lord’s, doing something that we dreamt of as kids growing up playing cricket.” Women were not allowed to join the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) or enter the Lord’s pavilion until 1999, when the club founded in 1787 announced its first 10 female honorary members.
