One of the main aims of the International Cricket Council is to promote and encourage the growth of women's cricket
The Hungarian Cricket Association shares this aim and has placed it as a central aim of its inaugural 5-year plan
The Hungarian U17 girls team played in a tournament in Potsdam, Germany in February 2008 - read report - and have been invited to take part again in February 2009, this time in Oldenburg
In the 2007 Hungarian Cricket League one female player (15-year-old Fanni Cziraky) played in matches for Comenius Seniors
In the 2008 season, three female players (Fanni Cziraky, Brigi Hotea and Claudia Balogh) from the Comenius Cricket Club squad (which currently includes 15 regular girl players, aged 14-17) played in HCL matches and two others (Mirtyll Hagymasi and Emese Mathe) played in matches against touring teams
To qualify as women for international senior matches, players must be 16 years of age
There is no age limit in the HCL
All open practices, nets sessions and matches in Hungary are open to women
