The History Girls

India is witnessing cricketing history this month as it plays host to the first ever tour by the Australian indigenous women's team.

The tour fittingly comes on the 150th anniversary of the ground-breaking all-Aboriginal cricket team that played its first match at the MCG in 1866, and later became the first Australian sports team to tour overseas when it embarked on a tour of the UK in 1868.

Fourteen women of indigenous origin are playing a series of matches against local women's teams from Delhi and Mumbai.

Hear from vice-captain Sally Moylan on how significant this is for the Australian indigenous community.
