India women will take on Australia women in three ODIs, a one-off day-night Test and three T20Is, starting with the first one-dayer on September 21.

At a virtual press conference on Monday, India women’s skipper Mithali Raj stated that Kaur came back early from The Hundred after an injury and hasn’t played since then.

India women’s coach Powar then shed light on the status of Kaur’s injury.

The India women’s captain was also quizzed about her batting position in the ODI series. She responded that she is flexible with any number and that it all depends on the team’s needs.

Verma made an impressive Test debut in England, scoring 96 and 63.
