IND W V AUS W: Playing Back-to-back Tests Is Great For Indian Cricket, Says Alyssa Healy
Alyssa Healy: AS they were getting ready to play the first Test match in 40 years in India, the Australian women's team got a special phone call from back home, wishing them well as they venture into the final frontier of sorts for the current players.
Australia play the one Test as part of the multi-format tour of the country at the Wankhede Stadium from Thursday. This is their first Test match in India since 1984 when they toured for four three-day 'Test' matches all of which were drawn.
"Yeah, it's really exciting. Jill Kennare was the last Australia captain to play a Test match over here. And, I actually have heard from her in the last couple of days to wish us all the best. But, what an amazing experience to come and play Test cricket over here. I think it's something that I never thought that we would get to get to achieve," said Alyssa Healy, who is taking over as captain of the team from Meg Lanning.
