IND V ENG: Need More Red-ball Cricket Internationally To Change Domestic Structure, Says Smriti Mandhana
"Women's cricket in India, I wouldn't say is lacking here (in this aspect). To be fair, we have played a lot of T20s and one-day cricket in the last 4 or 5 years. That's why the domestic cricket structure was formed in terms of getting us the T20s and one-day experience because we had T20 and one-day World Cups more," Mandhana told a press conference two days before the Indian women's cricket team take on England in a four-day one-off Test at the DY Patil Stadium here.
So, the domestic structure could be changed only if there is more red-ball cricket played internationally. At present, only India, England, Australia and South Africa play a bit of women's Test cricket while women's teams from countries like New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Pakistan have rarely played the longer version of the game.
