The Indian women's cricket team are gearing up to face England in a one-off Test match after almost seven years since last featuring in the longest format of the game.
The last time they played Test cricket was back in 2014 when they travelled to England and later hosted South Africa.
It will be a tough task for India against one of the best sides but Mithali Raj's team has quality players in the ranks to battle it out for four days.
"I have not played much of red-ball cricket, I have played just two Tests. This time we got a chance to speak to Ajinkya Rahane, we picked his brains on how to bat in the longer format, mentally we are prepared," vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur said during a press conference.
Apart from the experience players like Mithali, Jhulan Goswami, Harmanpreet, the Indian team will hope the likes of Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues can impress in red-ball cricket.
