Cricket enthusiasts are gearing up for an exciting season as the national women’s team prepares for a pivotal series abroad, which promises to be the perfect precursor to the T20 World Cup qualifiers.
The team is set to engage in an eight-match tour that includes three One Day Internationals (ODIs) followed by five Twenty20 matches. The tour kicks off with the first ODI in just over a week, providing the squad with an invaluable opportunity to hone their skills and adapt to different playing conditions.
The captain, who is on the brink of reaching a personal milestone of 199 caps, emphasizes the importance of this series as a build-up to the high-stakes qualifiers where every game is critical. In preparation for the warmer climate they will face, the team has been undergoing sauna sessions to acclimatize. This series marks their first competitive play since their previous victory, and with the introduction of contracts, the team has been training rigorously, demonstrating a renewed sense of commitment and professionalism in the sport.
