Cricket News: India women look to start on a winning note vs England

Few important questions pop up every time India Women play a Twenty20 International series at home. Why are the matches scheduled so early in the morning, and not at a time convenient for players, crowd and television audience? All these thoughts, though, will be far away from the mind of Mandhana who is slated to make her international captaincy debut in the absence of an injured Harmanpreet Kaur. Mandhana will be India’s fifth captain in the format. At 22 years and 229 days, she will be India’s third youngest captain behind Mithali and Diana Edulji, who were both 21 years old when they first led in ODIs.
