Tahlia McGrath And Jess Jonassen Shift Focus To Preparation For All-format India Tour After WBBL
Big Bash League: With the ninth season of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) over, the focus of fast-bowling all-rounder Tahlia McGrath and left-arm spinner Jess Jonassen now shifts to preparing for the all-format tour of India, which begins with a Test match, followed by three ODIs and as many T20Is.
The Australian squad will depart for Mumbai on December 13 and will be kick-starting their tour of India with a four-day Test match at the Wankhede Stadium on December 21. Tahlia admitted that it was tough for her to keep one eye on the India tour while captaining Adelaide Strikers to winning WBBL 2023.
"It's been tough. There's been a lot of bowling my loads after the game, there's been a lot of making sure I've got the right metres and gym sessions under my belt. Playing a Test match in Indian conditions is something that doesn't come around too often and I'm really excited for it."
