“Just have to explore those dynamics [of playing women’s Tests]. And the more we do it, the more people turn up, the more popular the women’s game becomes, the better it is for everyone. So, I guess this Lord’s Test Match is a special one.”
India are coming on the back of a T20 World Cup where they finished below Australia and South Africa in the group stages.
With a quick turnaround from what has been a pulsating T20I season, the Indian head coach is optimistic that the team can reset their rhythm to meet the needs of the longest format.
“There’s another Test match this year against South Africa, so we are playing more Test matches within the year than in the last few years,” he said.
“So I guess it is just about adjustment, just a click in your mind. If you’re a professional cricketer, I personally feel that it just should be a click in your mind about playing red-ball cricket and white-ball cricket. There’s not much of a difference.
