Australia's captain Meg Lanning and Ellyse Perry trust that the expansion of top-level women's cricket as of late can at last incorporate progressively ordinary to wind up familiar with an undeniably furious cricket plan. The proceeded with shortage of test cricket is one region of the game she might want to see tended to.

The way to any potential move on that front, she believes, is India.
Australian team played their last test coordinate in November 2017 where Ellyse Perry made history with a record-breaking two fold century against England women's at the North Sydney Oval.

Their next task is the Ashes voyage through England, which incorporates a single Test, and skipper Meg Lanning needs red-ball cricket to be consolidated all the more consistently into the worldwide calendar to enable them to get ready.

“Unfortunately, one game every two years is difficult to prepare and play well. But we enjoy playing them, so hopefully, there’s a few more down the track. Putting on the Baggy Green is a very special moment for our group. We always look forward to that opportunity. It’s an exciting prospect.”

“I think India would be great at playing Test matches – I think they’d be the big fish to get involved because they’ve got such a big influence in cricket.”

England (seven matches) and Australia (six matches) have driven the route in ladies' Test cricket over the previous decade, with India's inclusion restricted to only two matches as the white-ball organizations keep on overwhelming the development of the game.

The Women's Ashes this northern summer will again be multi-design focuses based standoff, with one Test coordinate (worth four) sandwiched by three ODIs (two each) and three T20s (two each) separately.
Lanning says the irregular scheduling of the format also poses challenges.
“(It) is something we don’t do too often, so that presents another challenge for us, just in terms of training and preparation” she added.

“We’ve got to get the balance right to be ready for that format because we play so much short-format cricket that is sort of takes us a couple of days to work out what we’re doing in a Test match.

"We obviously want to win the Test match – it’s not the be-all and end-all of the series, but it does play a big part, and putting on that Baggy Green is very special for all our group, and we always look forward to that opportunity.”

India has not included in the longest configuration of the game since 2014 and Lanning required their contribution to advance the arrangement, as they have enormous impact in cricket.

In the interim, Australia, England, South Africa, and India are the main cricket-playing countries who have played ladies' Test coordinates in the most recent decade.

The Cricket Boards at Australia and England have been attempting each conceivable method to advance Women's Test Cricket throughout the years, yet to increase such prevalence that constrained overs cricket has over the globe, and Australia Women's chief Meg Lanning has asked India to broaden their assistance.
