If we get more Tests, that will definitely help us as players: Harmanpreet Kaur

 After having registered a thumping 347-run victory against England in the DY Patil stadium, which was also the greatest ever victory in terms of runs for a team in women’s test cricket, the Indian team expressed their desire to play more test matches among their international fixtures. “We didn’t get that many opportunities in the Test format when we were playing cricket, but hopefully the new generation will get many more games, especially if you talk about Tests, because we have quite a busy schedule in T20Is and ODIs, but Test cricket is actually something that gives you a lot of patience and you can improve your skills. If we get more Tests, that will definitely help us as players,” Captain of the Indian women’s national cricket team Harmanpreet Kaur stated in an interaction with reporters after the game.

The match was also marked by phenomenal performances by three debutants Shubha Satheesh, Jemimah Rodrigues and Renuka Thakur. “Good signs for Indian cricket. All of them who made their debut (Jemimah Rodrigues, Shubha Satheesh and Renuka Thakur) batted and bowled well. England is a top side and these youngsters got a taste of what Test cricket is about,” Indian women’s national cricket team’s head coach Amol Mazumdar stated.
