India Men’s team is set to clash with New Zealand Men’s side in the World Test Championship (WTC) final starting from June 18 at Southampton.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have delivered on their promise of giving equal weightage to Women’s cricket by sending the Indian team to battle it out in the one-off Test against England Women’s team after a gap of seven years.

The red ball match would be followed by three ODIs and as many T20Is in the United Kingdom (UK).

India Women’s skipper Mithali Raj had recently stated in an interview that she has no ‘baggage’ to carry for the upcoming red-ball match against England.

“For all the youngsters in the team, and even for someone like me who played a Test match seven years ago, there is no baggage to carry. We have not played the format for such a long time and hence can play with an open mind,” Mithali opined.

Former Indian spinner Ramesh Powar has returned on the post of head coach after three years and would be looking to close the rift between him and Mithali.
