Indian Women's Cricket Team Seeks Inspiration Against Australia in Day-Night Test The Indian women's cricket team is looking to its senior players to lead the way as they face off against Australia in a day-night Test match for the first time in nearly five years, starting on Friday. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has remained unbeaten in their last five Tests, but all those wins came at home. India's last two overseas Tests ended in draws against England and Australia in 2021. The team will be relying on players like Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Varma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, and Harmanpreet Kaur to deliver inspiring performances. However, the spotlight will also be on Pratika Rawal, who is set to make her Test debut on Friday. Rawal is one of seven uncapped Indian players named for the day-night Test at the WACA Ground. The Indian squad features a mix of youth and experience, with seven uncapped players in the Test line-up. These include 20-year-old left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma, Kranti Gaud, Sayali Satghare, and Kashvee Gautam, among others. Both Kranti Gaud and Amanjot Kaur were part of India's World Cup-winning ODI team and could make their Test debuts on Friday. However, the visitors will miss the services of experienced medium pacer Renuka Singh, who has been rested as part of her workload management. In her place, young quick Kashvee Gautam has been included. Australia, on the other hand, will be looking to give a grand farewell to their captain, Alyssa Healy, who will be playing her 299th and final international match.
