India skipper Mithali Raj on Wednesday called for the return of red-ball cricket in women's domestic circuit if one-off Tests become a regular feature in their international assignments.
Mithali, whose side has just got two practice sessions ahead of the historic day-night Test against Australia starting Thursday, wanted more preparation time but the COVID-hit scheduling did not allow that.
India played their first Test in seven years in June and the Australia Test is their first with pink-ball.
"Clearly, if the girls need to do well in this format they have to have some sort of match experience in the domestic circuit. So, if this (Test) is going to be regular (feature) then probably we will have another addition to our domestic calendar of playing days format," said Mithali on the eve of the day-nighter.
