Australia leg-spinner Alana King excited about maiden India tour
The HinduAustralia leg-spinner Alana King is savouring the prospect of playing in front of her extended family in India during the five-T20 series where a good performance can set her up for the upcoming women’s IPL. “I am sure WhatsApp will start blowing up close to the game.” Women’s IPL ‘forefront of everyone’s mind’ King, who played for the Supernovas in the T20 Challenge earlier this year in India, has been in good form in the last 12 months. While the series marks the build-up to the T20 World Cup in South Africa beginning February 10, it will be important for the players as a good performance can help land lucrative deals in the inaugural women’s IPL which is set to be held in March. “It’s pretty much at the forefront of everyone’s mind that there is an IPL coming up,” King said.
