India women's cricket team skipper Harmanpreet Kaur discussed the excitement and challenges ahead of a home season featuring two Tests, saying that lack of red-ball fixtures over the years have left the team with a challenge to prepare themselves in a short period of time.

Test cricket will feature for the first time in India women's home season since 2014 when they take on England and Australia. In 2014, they defeated South Africa by an innings and 34 runs in Mysore.
