Karnataka’s Shubha Satheesh Makes Seamless Transition From Domestic To International Cricket | Cricket News

[ad_1] From getting dismissed by long-time friend Jemimah Rodrigues on 99 to making Test debut, it has been a seamless transition from domestic to international cricket for Karnataka's Shubha Satheesh who shone with the bat on the first day of India Women's one-off Test against England in Navi Mumbai on Thursday. It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks or so for the 24-year-old from Mysore, who began playing at the age of 12 without any specific aim of becoming an India cricketer. But the journey, which she terms as a ‘process', took another 12 years before she found herself donning the Indian Test cap.In a span of one week, Shubha has got a call-up from the Royal Challengers Bangalore for the Women's Premier League besides making her Test debut. She also became the 12th Indian batter to...

“Opportunity To Take Women’s Cricket High”: India Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur | Cricket News

[ad_1] Without hiding her desire to see more Tests being played in women's cricket space, captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Wednesday admitted that India will have to play a lead role to make it a reality through consistent performances. After a gap of nearly nine years, India will be playing a Test at home when they take on England in a one-off match at the DY Patil Stadium.

One-off Test Against India Huge Unknown For Both Teams: England Captain Heather Knight | Cricket News

[ad_1] England Women's captain Heather Knight said the one-off Test against India starting in Navi Mumbai on Thursday will be a ‘huge unknown' for both the teams and approaching the game with the right mindset will be crucial. Indian women's outfit has not lost a Test — at home since 1995 and away since 2006 — will offer a massive challenge to the visitors, but the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has not played red-ball cricket for the last two years. However, Knight did not read too much into the non-familiarity factor.“I think it is a huge unknown for both the teams. Obviously, playing multi-format for the Indian girls as well, they have not really done it here for a long time. So yes, it's hugely exciting any time we get to don the whites,” Knight told the media ahead of England's training ...

Harmanpreet Kaur’s India Bank On Spin To Keep England In Check In One-Off Test | Cricket News

[ad_1] After an underwhelming effort in the T20Is, Harmanpreet Kaur-led India will now shift to a format in which they have an undeniable edge over England, and a seasoned spin attack will be their primary weapon to maintain that advantage as the one-off women's Test between them will pan out over four days from Thursday. History, an unavoidable part of sport, offers a large slice of comfort to India as they have lost only one Test to England in 14 matches since their rivalry started in 1986 and Harmanpreet, who is leading India in Tests for the first time, would want to keep that proud record intact.

‘India Banking On Coach Amol Muzumdar’s Experience’: Smriti Mandhana Ahead Of England Test | Cricket News

[ad_1] Navi Mumbai:With the Indian women's team lacking enough red-ball exposure, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana said her young teammates are picking the brains of new head coach Amol Muzumdar to get into red-ball mindset ahead of the one-off Test against England. Two years ago, India had played a couple of Tests in England and Australia in June and September with both the four-day games ending in draws. In comparison, England have had a more recent experience of playing red-ball cricket as their last game was against Australia in the Women's Ashes in June this year.Mandhana, who herself has played just four Tests in a decade-long career, feels the presence of Muzumdar, a former domestic player and captain, will be crucial as they prepare for the four-day game starting here on Thursday."We...

Smriti Mandhana Bats For Women’s WTC But England’s Tammy Beaumont Says Long Way To Go | Cricket News

[ad_1] India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana on Tuesday welcomed the idea of organising a World Test Championship in women's Test cricket, but England veteran Tammy Beaumont said it would be unfair to have such a competition when only three countries are playing regularly. In men's Test cricket, the ICC's World Test Championship began with 2019-2021 as the first two-year cycle. It is currently in its third edition. The women's game, however, does not have any such competition. There is a huge disparity among women's teams in terms of playing Test cricket as only England, Australia and India have played in the longest format regularly even though there is a long gap."I would love to be a part of the World Test Championship but that is for the boards and the ICC to decide," Mandhana told the ...
