Emphasising the importance of long format in women`s cricket, India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has called for more international and domestic red-ball fixtures. In the current Future Tours Programme (FTP) cycle that goes on from 2022-25, Indian women`s team will play the fewest Test matches among the four sides competing in the longest format.
"This year we have two Tests - one against England and one against Australia - and I hope those games can make a huge impact on women`s cricket and hopefully in the future we will keep getting more Test matches. "We have to bring back Test matches in women`s cricket because it`s very important for women`s cricket," Kaur said on `Sky Sports Cricket Podcast`. India are scheduled to play only a couple of Test matches -- both at home in the 2023-24 season against England and Australia. Their last Test was in 2021 in Australia. England will play the most Tests -- five -- and Australia and South Africa four and three each.
