“BCCI has been planning on certain tournaments for women cricketers in the last year. But time and again plans have gone haywire because of the pandemic. It is heartening to note that the board has planned a Test during the Indian women’s tour of England,” Rangaswamy informed PTI.
“I firmly believe the ultimate barometer is the longest format. To add to this, a day-night Test against Australia has also been announced which should be highly appreciated.
“However, as Indian women don’t play red ball cricket even in the domestic circuit, it is advisable for the BCCI to conduct a pink-ball tournament in India before the players embark on the journey to Australia,” she added.
The day-night Test needs to be a harder problem contemplating the pink ball does extra.
Some of India’s male Test cricketers had performed in the Duleep Trophy earlier than taking part in their first day-night sport.
“It is also nice to know the Indian men will be playing in Sri Lanka (in July). It will be good if a women’s team is also sent to Sri Lanka,” she advised.
“This will be a good way of increasing the standard of the bench strength. I am making all these suggestions as a former cricketer,” she added
