Let us tell you that this test match between India and Australia will be played with pink ball. The competition will start from 6th March.
Keep an eye on Kashvi Gautam
Kashvi Gautam was included in India’s ODI team and now due to Renuka being unfit, she has got a chance in the Test team. BCCI has informed that now its medical team will keep a special eye on Renuka’s fitness. Over the past few years, Renuka has had to suffer many injuries common to fast bowlers, including back strain. Renuka is known to swing the ball both ways and this skill of hers would have been useful for Team India in Australia but her poor fitness gave a shock to the team and her. Now Kashvi Gautam will have to fill the void of Renuka. Let us tell you that Gautam has played 6 ODI matches for India, in which he has taken 3 wickets. She has 19 wickets in her name in the Women’s Premier League. Now it remains to be seen how she performs in Test cricket.
