After clinching the silver medal at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham, the India Women’s team has now headed back to England for a bilateral tour. Both sides will clash for three T20Is and as many ODI matches beginning from Saturday, September 10. The first encounter of the three-match T20I series will take place at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street.
England received a huge setback as their stand-in captain Nat Sciver withdrew from the series against India, citing mental health and personal reasons. Sciver’s spouse and England’s pace spearhead Katherine Brunt has been rested for the series. Veteran Amy Jones has been named as the skipper for the T20I series.
BCCI has named a strong Indian unit to travel to England. Harmanpreet Kaur will continue to lead the sides in both formats, while the in-form opener Smriti Mandhana will serve as her deputy. India’s veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami will return to the side for the ODI series. The 27-year-old Kiran Navgire has also received her maiden national call-up and might make her debut in the T20I series.
The T20I series will be intriguing on several levels. It will be a matter of retribution for England after their loss to India in the semi-finals of the CWG 2022. Meanwhile, the Indian women will also be eager to prove that their performance in Birmingham was not a fluke and thump England at their home.
