On Tuesday's Sportswomen we celebrate the contribution of former England captain Rachael Heyhoe Flint to the evolution of women's cricket, following her death on Wednesday after a short illness.

Under her leadership, England's women were allowed to play at Lord's for the first time and she became one of the MCC's first female members.
