On one hand, some players of the Indian men’s team are staying away from Test cricket, while on the other hand, Indian women’s cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur has said that there should be more Test matches in women’s cricket now than before. The Test match between India and England at Lord’s is very special, because for the first time a women’s Test match will be played on this ground. Harmanpreet said that every player wants to play Test cricket and she hopes that in the coming time, women players will get more opportunities in this format.

Harmanpreet also expressed the need to restart domestic red-ball cricket. She said that in the last few years, the focus of women’s cricket has been more on ODI and T20. If red-ball cricket is played regularly at the domestic level, the players will get a chance to prepare better for the Test matches. He believes that this will further strengthen the team’s performance.

Dream of playing at Lord’s fulfilled
The Indian captain said that it is every cricketer’s dream to play Test on a historic ground like Lord’s. She was surprised to know that a women’s test match had never been played here before. She said that even though it was late, women’s cricket has now got this opportunity and the entire team is very excited about this historic match.

Harmanpreet said that early exit in the T20 World Cup was disappointing for the team, but now all the players have left that defeat behind. He reminded that India has won its last two Test matches against England and the team will take the field with full confidence. He says that players may play less Tests, but the enthusiasm they feel when they take the field wearing a white jersey is different from any other format.
