Australia captain Healy quashes talks of Harmanpreet rivalry, seeks extra India vs Australia ladies’s Test matches

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur had a heated alternate along with her Australian counterpart on Saturday after the latter deflected a throw from Harmanpreet, who was bowling at the moment, ensuing within the ball racing to the ropes.

The Indian camp appealed towards Healy for obstructing the sector which was rejected by on-field umpires.

Though tempers flew round that cut-off date, issues eased out as the sport progressed. In truth, quickly after India pulled off an eight-wicket win on Sunday afternoon, Healy was seen clicking photos of the house facet.

The skipper made it clear that there was no rivalry of types with Harmanpreet.

“Oh, I don’t necessarily think there is a rivalry. I think that we’re just two cricketers going at it. That’s the way that I’d sum it up. She’s obviously a passionate cricketer, so am I. And that’s what happens when Australia plays India,” Healy stated, earlier than including with a smile, “It’s a good, hard contest and yesterday was just probably an example of that…”

At the Wankhede Stadium, India defeated Australia for the primary time in a Test match and after an ‘enjoyable experience’ during the last 4 days, Healy was open to the thought of getting extra bilateral Test matches.

“That’s up to the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) and probably Cricket Australia as well to decide whether that’s on the cards or not. Standing there in the press conference when I was asked that question, I thought, ‘Yep, imagine playing two more of these.’ I think that would be an unbelievable experience for our group and probably a true test of both sides’ abilities,” Healy stated.

“The one-off Test match India played in their home conditions you’d expect them to be heavy favourites, but the way we tried to adapt and continue to learn throughout the four days was really impressive.

“So yeah, we would love to see more and more and I think it would create a real contest over three games. But the nature of the female game at the moment is it’s very white-ball dominant and trying to fit red-ball in the calendar and fit all the white-ball games in particular seems to be taking precedence.

“You take three one-day games out and we could probably play two more Test matches. I would have thought cool,” she added.
