Australia captain Meg Lanning believes that matches between Australia and Australia A groups might be higher preparation for Test matches, claiming that the home system will not be able to host red-ball matches for ladies’s cricket. After the thrilling girls’s Ashes Test on the Manuka Oval in Canberra, the place England snatched a draw with only one wicket in hand, calls have grown for extra red-ball matches for ladies’s cricket at each the home and worldwide degree.
“I believe it’s a fragile one. There’s lots of work (that) goes into home cricket, the WBBL and the WNCL — we’re not even at 12 video games within the WNCL but when it comes to the 50-over format. I believe there’s most likely another priorities when it comes to getting that 12 video games within the WNCL, making certain the WBBL’s actually robust earlier than we begin fascinated by that,” Meg was quoted as saying by The Sydney Morning Herald on Sunday.
“This is my personal opinion, but I don’t think at the moment that’s a great idea to introduce (long-form) into domestic cricket. I think there could be room for Australia versus Australia A, something like that to give players an opportunity to practice the red-ball format against the best players in the country. But I think it’d be a pretty big challenge to introduce it domestically,” added Meg, who might be main Australia within the Women’s Cricket World Cup subsequent month in New Zealand.
Giving Australia v Australia A, an intra-match the place worldwide cricketers will play in opposition to one another, her help as preparation for Tests, Meg remarked, “That’s one thing that’s attainable over the following couple of years. Maybe down the monitor, it could be completely different, however that is my private view. I believe if we give attention to getting some extra WNCL video games and protecting the WBBL robust, that’s going to offer us a superb basis and doubtlessly the Australia v Australia A video games will give us some extra publicity to the red-ball format which we want.”
Meg signed off by saying that more exposure to Tests will help the team in dealing with situations akin to what happened in the women’s Ashes Test. “The more we play the longer format the better we’ll get at understanding how that format flows and what sort of scores you need to declare with, how much time you need to bowl teams out, all that sort of stuff is something we’re pretty unfamiliar with.”
“So I actually would look ahead to being in one other state of affairs the place we have now to suppose on our ft and give you one thing slightly bit completely different.”
