Bengaluru, July 21: The ICC Women's Cricket World Cup final between India and Australia might have already been a sellout event. But every child attends the summit clash will have something more to watch out for apart from some highly entertaining onfield action.

They could become the proud owners of cricket bats signed by Rachel Heyhoe Flint. And there 5,000 bats are up for grabs.

So, who is exactly Rachel Heyhoe Flint? She was a former England woman cricketer and a philanthropist. She passed away January 18, 2017 after a brief illness at the age of 77.

Flint garnered 1594 runs from 22 Tests at an average of 45.54 with three hundreds and from 23 one-day internationals she collected 643 runs at 58.45 with a hundred.

Veteran cricket writer Scyled Berry once termed her the WG Grace of women's cricket for the sheer impact she had on the game. She was also a goalkeeper for England's national hockey team.
