Rangaswamy, Edulji suggest practice matches before pink ball Test
The HinduAs India’s women’s cricket team gears up for its maiden pink-ball Test against Australia in September, former captains Shantha Rangaswamy and Diana Edulji believe that it would be good for the players if the Board of Control for Cricket in India conducts a domestic preparatory pink-ball tournament ahead of the tour. READ| Rangaswamy believes that with the one-off Test scheduled between September 30 and October 3, it would be beneficial for the players if they get some proper match practice before flying out to Australia. “As the Indian women don’t play even red ball cricket in the domestic circuit, it is advisable for the BCCI to conduct a pink ball tournament in India before our women embark on the journey to Australia,” Rangaswamy said. The former India captain also suggested that an emerging team could be sent to Sri Lanka, when the men’s team travels to the Island nation in July.
