India women's team is going to play a one-off Test match against England women in their upcoming UK tour. Before the tour, youngster Jemimah Rodrigues shared a touching post on her Twitter account.

Rodrigues wrote that they are going to play for every single girl who desires to play this sport. She also thanked the ones who have brought women cricket in India where it is now without the recognization they deserved.

“So today (coach) Ramesh (Powar) sir called us for a team meeting and showed us the history we have of women’s cricket in India — from where it first started to where it has reached today… The one’s who were before us that made it possible for us to be a part of what we are today,” Jemimah said in an Instagram post.

“The one’s who did it without the recognition they deserved, the one’s who brought women’s cricket in India. Then the two legends of Indian women’s cricket Mithu di and Jhulu di came up and shared with the entire team what cricket has meant to them and what it’s like being a part of this Legacy.”

Jemimah said it's their responsibility to honor the ones who have played before them and to leave the team in a better place for the upcoming generation of players.

“The meeting ended off with this beautiful quote. Our greatest responsibility is to honour those who have been before us and those who will come after, to ‘leave the JERSEY in a better place’.

“This series (tour of England) and the series here forth, we are playing for a far bigger cause than what we realise, we are playing for every single girl who desires to play this sport,” she concluded.

The Indian women team last featured in whites was long back in 2014, when they toured England. India won the game by 6 wickets as they chased down the 181-run target after losing just four wickets. 

After the one-off Test, India and England will play three ODIs beginning June 27 and then three T20Is, starting July 9.
