Yes they can!
Some refreshing news!! And not coming from crciket but from football - who knew anybody could play football in India?? Let alone tribal girls from a far-far east village??
"Eighteen girls from a village on the outskirts of Ranchi had on July 13 finished third in Gasteiz Cup, an Under-14 tournament, in Victoria Gasteiz in Spain. The tribal girls were representing Yuwa India, an NGO founded by a 30-year-old American Franz Gastler."
