It will be a landmark moment for Heather Knight’s England team when they walk out to be part of the one-off women’s Test against Harmanpreet Kaur-led India at the DY Patil Stadium here today. Today’s four-day game against India marks England’s 100th Test and their 15th against India, who are being led for the first time in Test cricket by Harmanpreet Kaur. The dynamic batter made her longer format debut way back in 2014.
Kaur, who has represented the country in three Tests, admitted that it will be a real test for the batters to counter the red-ball. However, she wants her players to keep it simple. “My advice is to keep a positive mindset and execute. Only the ball’s colour has changed and we are playing in whites. We all have an emotional attachment to whites and are excited to play the Test. We are ready for this opportunity; just want to go there and enjoy,” Kaur told mid-day when asked about the red-ball challenge during the pre-match press conference on Wednesday.
