Nagpur to host WWC finalists India and England for 3 ODIs

After a successful tour of South Africa, the Indian Women’s team is slated for more international action in the coming months. The Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium at Nagpur is scheduled to host England and India in a 3-match ODI series in April.

The last time the two teams met was during the epic finals of the ICC Women’s World Cup. The Indian Women’s team, captained by a spirited Mithali Raj, fell short of their maiden World Cup total by just nine runs.

England Women’s team will face the Indian Women’s team on the 8th, 11th, and 14th of April at VCA Stadium at Nagpur. The Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in India announced the series last year in December, but could not decide the venue of the event.

It is learned that these matches are not a part of International Cricket Council (ICC)’s Women’s Championship.
