It’s not even been a month that the women’s Ashes got done and the Australian team is already in the Caribbean getting ready for their upcoming series against the West Indies which include three ODIs and three T20Is beginning this Thursday. Not that they get rest after the series as they have two home series lined up later this month against Sri Lanka followed by two months of Women’s Big Bash League.
A few days breather followed by Women’s National Cricket League, T20 Tri-series v India and England, after which the biggest event of 2020, T20 World Cup. So with almost no gap to rest, the defending champions will get at the helm with an intention to clinch the title, again.
Keeping in mind the given scenario, Matthew Mott the Australian coach said to 7News.com, “Definitely. It’s not the sort of thing you love doing. This tour has come around pretty quickly after the Ashes. We’ve got a squad of 14, we’ll try and manage that well while we are there.
“It’s a huge amount of cricket. And when we get back, the Sri Lankan series is going to be a really interesting one.
“We get all our wellness markers and just talking to the players where they are at. We might have to make some tough decisions in that series.”
Although the Australian support staff and officials are trying to make sure that they don’t exhaust the players in the process and that they are giving them all the facilities and the much-needed break as and when required.
