"Would Be Great To See More Tests In Future": Sophia Dunkley Star To NDTV

England all-rounder Sophia Dunkley wants more Test matches in the women's game, saying that the three matches that she has been a part of since her debut in the longest format have all been exciting, despite rain hampering the chances of a result on a few occasions. Dunkley, in an exclusive chat with NDTV, said the kind of cricket on display in women's Tests recently shows how far the game has come and also batted for women's Tests to be increased to five days instead of four.

"I think I would love to see more women's Tests because the ones I've played in, they've all been really exciting. They've not all had results but I think there have been really great bits of cricket in there, some really fun sessions," Dunkley told NDTV.

"To be fair, a lot of them have been affected by rain so potentially you might have had a result," she added.

"But I think it just shows how far the women's game has come and that we can put on a show and entertain. So yeah it would be great to see some more Test matches in the future," said the 24-year-old.

"I think five days just gives a better chance for a result. When you've got things like rain and stuff that you can't control, it's quite frustrating to play really hard for four days and not get that result," Dunkley said.

"So yeah I think five days would be amazing to the game and I'm sure it would create some exciting Test matches."

Dunkley played a big role in England's recent 2-1 win over India in the T20I series. She scored an unbeaten 61 in the first match and then 49 in the series decider.

"We spoke about few of the different plans the Indian bowlers might have. Deepti Sharma is a very clever bowler, bowls well in the Powerplay. And Renuka bowled very well as well. So yeah, every game
