IND W V ENG W: We Will Play Aggressive Cricket, Says Harmanpreet Kaur As India Hosts Test After Nine Years
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur: They have not played much red-ball cricket and are coming into the four-day one-off Test match against England with only two days of preparations, but India Women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur said they will play aggressive cricket despite their limitations.
While India last played a Test match at home nine years ago and their last red-ball game was two years ago against Australia at the Carrara, Harmanpreet Kaur missed that match and thus will be making her debut as a captain.
Many of her teammates have not played multi-day cricket as the female cricketers don't get to play red-ball cricket in the domestic circuit either. Thus red-ball cricket is an unknown commodity for many of them. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and her deputy Smriti Mandhana are the only ones in the current squad who have played red-ball cricket at home.
