India women’s team set to play their first-ever pink-ball Test match against Australia at the WACA Ground in Perth.
It will be the first Test match between the two international teams in the last 15 years. However, India has not played any Test match in the last 7 years and the next month’s Test against England will the first since then.
“Taking forward our commitment towards women’s cricket, I am extremely pleased to announce that Team India @BCCIwomen will play in their first-ever pink ball day-night Test later this year in Australia,” Jay Shah, the secretary of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), wrote on his Twitter handle.
Cricket Australia confirmed it through a statement, “The WACA Ground will host just the second-ever women’s day-night Test match when Australia take on India in a multi-format series to kick off the 2021-22 international summer of cricket.”
In total Australia and India have played nine Tests in total with Aussies leading 4-0, five ended in draw.
