From bunk beds and unreserved train tickets to staying in five-star hotels and flying business class, women's cricket has undergone a "massive" change, feels one of its biggest stars Jhulan Goswami. Jhulan, the only bowler in the women's game with over 200 ODI wickets, reflected on her time in international cricket and also looked ahead to the upcoming ICC Women's World T20 in the West Indies starting November 9.

"I remember staying in an accommodation with bunk beds for my first World Cup, in 2005. For domestic matches, we often travelled unreserved in trains, and played on grounds where getting injured would have been very easy," the 35-year-old wrote in her column for the ICC. "There were countless junior tournaments where we stayed in dormitories and slept on mattresses on the floor. There's been such a massive change to women's cricket since I started playing." The World Cup's league matches will be played in Guyana and St Lucia from November 9-18 with the two semifinals and the final in Antigua on November 22 and 24, respectively. This being the first ever standalone Women's World T20, Jhulan feels it will generate more publicity.
