History

East Zone Women first played in the Rani Jhansi Trophy in the 1974–75 season, a List A competition. They competed in the tournament until it was dissolved after the 2002–03 season, but full results for the trophy are not recorded.[2] They also played matches against the touring New Zealand side in 1975–76 and 1984–85.[3][4]

In 2007, East Zone began playing in the Inter Zone Women's One Day Competition, which they competed in between the 2006–07 season until it ended after the 2013–14 season.[2] Their best finish in the tournament came in 2010–11, finishing 3rd with two wins from their four matches.[5]

In the 2014–15 season, the zonal teams began competing in a two-day competition, the Inter Zone Women's Two Day Competition. In the first season, East Zone finished as runners-up, with two drawn games won on first innings from their four matches.[6] The side again finished as runners-up in 2015–16, when the tournament became a three-day competition, with three drawn games won on first innings.[7] In 2016–17 the side finished fourth and in 2017–18 East Zone finished bottom of the five team league.[8][9]
