The Indian women’s team will be touring Australia in the month of September and October. They will kick start the tour with 3 One-Day Internationals, followed by the most awaited pink-ball test at Perth between September 30- October 3 and the tour will be concluded on October 11, the day when India will play their third and last T20I match against Australia.

“India is an emerging supergiant in the game, they have a lot of great players and they will be tough opposition. They are playing over in England at the moment and, if anything, we’ll be a bit vulnerable because we won’t have had a lot of cricket. So that’s at the forefront of our mind,” cricket.com.au quoted Mott as saying.

“It would be great to get everyone back together face to face, have a really strong camp in Brisbane at the National Cricket Centre with fantastic new facilities out there, and just for some of the (players from) southern states to train outside in good weather. So, fingers crossed the borders open up and we’re free of COVID as much as we can be and we navigate around,” he added.

Matthew Mott signed a 2-year contract extension as the head coach of the Australian women’s team. He will go on as the head coach of the team till September 2023.
