Rachael Heyhoe Flint Gate: The iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground has set a new benchmark for women’s cricket in the UK by breaking the attendance record for a Women’s Test match with 23,207 tickets already sold for the side’s one-off clash against India, to be played from July 10-13.

The development comes ahead of 10 weeks still to go before the historic fixture takes place, which will also be the first-ever women’s Test to be played at the iconic venue, fifty years after Rachael Heyhoe Flint first led a women’s side onto playing at the Main Ground.

The match headlines a record-breaking season at the Lord’s, which will stage 21 women’s fixtures across international, domestic, and pathway competitions. The iconic ground will also host four matches in the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, including the sold-out final to be played on July 5.
