India Women’s National Cricket Team first day-night Test
Fifteen years after 2006, the Indian and Australian women’s cricket teams have clashed in a Test match, and for the first time in history, the Indian women’s cricket team will play its day-night Test match.
Clash at WACA Stadium:
The historic Pink Test will take place over 4 days from September 30 at the WACA Cricket Ground in Perth, Australia, the fastest bounce in the world. The women’s cricket test match set to play at the new Aptus Cricket Ground, which has designed near the venue, as men’s cricket will not play at the venue due to the high speed of the ball and the maximum number of bouncers.
Taking forward our commitment towards women's cricket, I am extremely pleased to announce that Team India @BCCIwomen will play in their first-ever pink ball day-night Test later this year in Australia.
