India Women are set to face England Women in a solitary Test starting on December 14. The match, scheduled to run until December 17, will take place at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. This marks a significant event as it is the first women's Test match in India since the team's dominant performance against South Africa in Mysuru during the 2014-15 season, where they secured victory by an innings and 34 runs.
The Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA), serving as the host board for the England-India series, has announced free entry for all upcoming matches involving the Indian women's team. This includes the one-off Test at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, as well as the subsequent fixtures against Australia Women.
In their head-to-head history, India Women and England Women have clashed 14 times, with 11 matches ending in draws. Notably, England secured a two-run victory at Jamshedpur in 1995-96, while India emerged triumphant at Taunton in 2006 and Wormsley in 2014. Harmanpreet Kaur is set to make history as India's 12th Test captain, succeeding Mithali Raj, who held the position since 2005. On the other side, Heather Knight will continue to lead the England Women's team, aiming to carry the momentum from their recent 2-1 T20I series win into the upcoming red-ball encounter.
