Smriti Mandhana Bats For Women's WTC But England's Tammy Beaumont Says Long Way To Go

India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana on Tuesday welcomed the idea of organising a World Test Championship in women's Test cricket, but England veteran Tammy Beaumont said it would be unfair to have such a competition when only three countries are playing regularly. In men's Test cricket, the ICC's World Test Championship began with 2019-2021 as the first two-year cycle. It is currently in its third edition. The women's game, however, does not have any such competition. There is a huge disparity among women's teams in terms of playing Test cricket as only England, Australia and India have played in the longest format regularly even though there is a long gap.

India will be taking on South Africa in the second T20I of the three-match series on Tuesday in Gqeberha. The first match got washed out due to heavy rain in Durban on Sunday.
