Mysore test

Head Coach Amol Muzumdar: Besides the advantage of playing in home conditions, the Indian women's cricket team will bank on recent good performances in all formats of the game to help them when it takes on England Women in a four-day one-off Test at the DY Patil Stadium here from Thursday.

With the team not playing a red-ball match in the last couple of years, most of the players in the squad do not have much experience of this format and therefore they are planning to just go into the field and take things as they come.

But there are still some positives for the Indian women's team when it comes to the record book as India enjoys a favorable head-to-head record against England.
