Don't think it’s time for experiment: Smriti

Published on: 

Stand-in skipper Smriti Mandhana on Monday stressed on giving players a long run to prove their mettle in the Indian women's team and insisted that the time is "not right" for experimentation.

India handed Harleen Deol her T20 International debut in the first match against England, which the hosts lost by 41 runs.

"If you look at the number of matches they have played, it's six to eight. I don't think it is the right time to experiment. We will have to stick with the same batting order to look forward to, giving them more game time for them to prove," Mandhana said.

"You should give enough chances to prove. When we came in the team,  I don't think I started scoring in the second or third match. I think everyone will be getting their chances. We are looking to win the matches rather than experiment."
