History edit
Before the 2022–23 season, inter zonal cricket in India had consisted of five teams, representing the Central, East, North, South and West zones.[1] With the addition of Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Sikkim to the BCCI ahead of the 2018–19 season, a new zone was required when zonal cricket returned in 2022–23.[2] Therefore, the North East Zone cricket team was created in both men's and women's cricket.[3][4] The North East Zone women's cricket team first competed at the inaugural inter zonal T20 competition, the 2022–23 Women's Senior Inter Zonal T20.[4] They finished sixth in the tournament, losing all of their matches.[5] In February 2023, the 2022–23 Women's Senior Inter Zonal One Day tournament took place, in which they again finished sixth, losing all of their matches.[6]
