History

Meghalaya Women first played in 2012, in the BCCI Associate Members Women's Tournament, playing four matches, losing two with the other two matches curtailed by rain.^[1] The team joined the full Indian domestic system ahead of the 2018–19 season, after an expansion of teams in Indian domestic cricket.^{[2] [3]} In their first season, they competed in the Senior Women's One Day League, finishing 3rd out of 9 in the Plate competition, and in the Senior Women's T20 League, finishing 6th out of 7 in their group.^{[4] [5]}

In the 2019–20 season, Meghalaya again finished 6th in their group in the Senior Women's T20 League. However, in the Senior Women's One Day League, the team finished 3rd in the Plate Competition and gained promotion, with 7 wins from their 9 matches.^{[6] [7]} The following season, 2020–21, with only the One Day League going ahead, Meghalaya finished bottom of Group E in the Elite Competition, losing all five of their matches, and were relegated to the Plate Group.^[8] They finished third in the Plate Group of the One Day Trophy in 2021–22, but lost all of their matches in Elite Group A of the T20 Trophy.^{[9] [10]} In 2022–23, the side won just one match in the T20 Trophy, and none in the One Day Trophy.^{[11] [12]}
