A home Test match for the Indian women's team after nine long years. The stage is set for Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. to come from the shadows of the Mithali Raj era and write their own legacy. Would you believe, this is Harmanpreet's first Test match as captain of India? That's there and with the team at her disposal, it is a strong squad and England who won the T20 series should be wary of, given the all-round strength of the host nation.
Sneh Rana, Rajeshwari Gayakwad and Meghna Singh return which means the youngster Saika Ishaque might have to wait for her Test debut while the likes of Richa Ghosh, Pooja Vastrakar and Renuka Singh Thakur will continue to retain their spots. The last time these two teams played a Test match was back in June 2021 and ended in a draw. The temperatures have come down in Mumbai and suburbs and hence the first session might offer a bit to the faster bowlers and but still the captain winning the toss would want to bat first.
