IND vs BAN: India Women Cricket Team will tour Bangladesh for limited-over series next month (June). The Indian women’s cricket team will play for the first time since their semifinal defeat by Australia at the ICC Women’s World Cup in Cape Town on February 23.
Hrishikesh Kanitkar, the squad’s batting coach, is set to remain in command of the team for the Bangladesh tour while the BCCI’s search for a new head coach for the Indian women’s team is still ongoing.
“The tour will comprise three ODIs, followed by as many T20Is. The side is currently undergoing a pre-tour high-performance camp at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore,” a source was quoted by TOI as saying.
