India Women vs England Women: The India Women’s tour of England will begin on Saturday, September 10, with the opening T20I of the three-match series. Both teams will face for the first time since the Commonwealth semi-finals in Birmingham.
England will be anxious to revenge for their humiliating home series defeat to India. Amy Jones, an all-rounder, will lead a youthful generation of English ladies eager to exhibit their talent on the international arena. Alice Capsey, eighteen, will be a significant player for the Brits, while pacer Lauren Bell will make her T20I debut. Katherine Brunt, England’s most senior player, has been rested for the series.
Meanwhile, Team India will enter the series with the same confidence that they had after thrashing England in their own backyard in the CWG 2022. Harmanpreet Kaur and her teammates would be eager to wrap up the series and show that their success at the games was not a fluke.
The Indian delegation that has traveled to England appears to be similar to the team that won the silver medal in the CWG 2022. Smriti Mandhana and Shefali Varma will open the batting, while Rajeshwari Gayakwad will headline the Indian bowling assault. Jemimah Rodrigues, India’s great all-rounder, will be a significant player for the ladies in blue, since she has been in spectacular form in English conditions, playing in the Hundred tournament.
