Why no red ball cricket for women? As Harmanpreet Kaur and Co get ready for home Test matches after nearly a decade, a need for a domestic revival

[ad_1] Every player from either India or England who has spoken to the media in the last few days leading up to the one-off Test match starting on Thursday in Navi Mumbai has mentioned the excitement of playing the longest format and donning the whites. Test matches in the women’s game are rare, with only England and Australia – and India a bit more recently – playing somewhat regularly. Even for India, this match against England is the first home Test since November 2014.Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana, India’s captain and vice-captain, both voiced their desire to play more Test matches. It might not be feasible, but they both seemed happy at the prospect of something along the lines of a World Test Championship. But more relevantly, Harmanpreet called for more domestic red-ball mu...

Women’s T20 World Cup: The BCCI is giving the women’s cricket team everything they could possibly need… They need to perform now, says Diana Edulji

[ad_1] I was very disappointed with the performance of the Indian women’s team at the T20 World Cup in South Africa. This was an excellent chance to win another world title after the Under-19 team won the junior World Cup recently. Unfortunately, the senior team didn’t look like strong contenders during their matches. We were lucky that the Ireland game (India won by 5 runs; DLS method) got washed out, otherwise, we wouldn’t have reached the semifinals. That said, we did not surrender as we did in the 2020 World Cup. We tried to fight but glaring mistakes throughout the tournament cost us a place in the final. First was the fielding and then the bowling. Spinners ineffective It was surprising that our spinners, who have been our strength, have gone under the radar. The spinners have c...

Most will fail yo yo test: Diana Edulji slams India’s poor fielding in Women’s T20 World Cup exit | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] NEW DELHI: Sloppy fielding was one of the reasons for Team India's semi-final loss to Australia in Women's T20 World Cup on Thursday. Along with three dropped catches, there were at least 6 fumbles while fielding -- which cost 10-12 extra runs -- as Harmnpreet Kaur and co. had a poor day out on the field. Former captain Diana Edulji slammed the poor fielding from the women's team, pointing out that the triumphant U-19 team looked fitter and fielded way better in their victorious T20 World Cup campaign. Edulji, who was part of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee which ran the BCCI for 33 months, was critical about the fitness standards of the senior women's team and said that most of the squad members would struggle to pass the yo yo test. The 67-year-old also felt skipper Harman...
