BCCI Apex Council member Shantha Rangaswamy has written to her colleagues, including the office-bearers, suggesting the “dire” need to organise a domestic pink ball competition before the historic women's day-night Test in Australia from September 30.
“Since 2018, our women’s team had virtually not played even red-ball cricket and playing under lights at the WACA in Perth will be a tougher task. They need to play under lights with the pink ball before they embark on the tour of Australia.” She suggested two-day games involving four teams to prepare for the challenge Down Under. India plays three ODIs starting September 19 before the day-night Test and there will also be a 14-day quarantine. PTI
