That’s going to be crazy.”“I keep in mind taking part in my first day-night one-day or T20 match.“I used to be fairly excited, like a small child. I used to be like, ‘Wow, we’ll be capable to play a day-night match’ and all of that.“Now that we’re going to play a day-night match, (we’ve) plenty of issues to work on however (there’s a) lot of pleasure pleasure about being a part of a day-night Test match, and that too in Australia, in opposition to Australia, it’s at all times an excellent problem. It’s going to be an amazing second for the Indian girls’s cricket staff,” Mandhana, who has played 2 Test matches added.Overall, the match will be the second Day-Night Test in the history of women’s cricket. The first one was played between England and Australia in Sydney in 2017.The Test match will be Mithali Raj-led side’s first in Australia since the Adelaide Test in 2006.

You have to get adapted to it. It’s too early for us to start the pink-ball preparations because the match is three-four months later.“At the moment it’s more about the England Test match, the Duke’s ball and all of that stuff, so let’s see.“When we got to know of the first Test, against England, the whole team was really excited.“We all were looking forward (to it). The last Test match I was part of was in 2014, so it’s been quite a long time, we haven’t gone out in whites, so that excitement of playing a Test match (after nearly seven years) was on another level,” the 24-year-old stated.
