England vs India, women's Test: Lack of game time a concern, says Sudha Shah

The Hindu  

When India's women's cricket team last played a Test match against England, way back in 2014, Sudha Shah was the head coach of the side. Seven years later, as Mithali's team gears up for yet another Test outing against England - starting in Bristol from Wednesday - Shah believes the seniors will have to step up and guide the juniors. “When we played England last time in 2014, we had only three players who had earlier played Test cricket, and there were eight debutants, but they played without any baggage. I think Mithali, Jhulan, Harman, and Smriti will play a big role in guiding these players this time,” Shah, who played 21 Tests and 13 ODIs for India between 1976 and 1991, told Sportstar.
