Smriti Mandhana bats for Women's World Test Championship
While the ICC's World Test Championship for men began its inaugural two-year cycle from 2019 to 2021 and is currently in its third edition, women's cricket lacks a similar structure. The existing disparity among women's teams is evident in the infrequent participation in Test cricket, with only England, Australia, and India regularly engaging in the longest format, despite significant gaps between matches. India and England are set to clash in a one-off Test starting this Thursday. This match marks the hosts' return to Test cricket after a two-year hiatus.
