New Delhi, Sep 13 || As Australia gear up to play a three-match series against India, also serving as vital preparation for the Women’s ODI World Cup, on Sunday, leg-spinner Georgia Wareham said the contests against the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side are a timely chance for the visitors to get accustomed to subcontinental conditions that are difficult to replicate back home.
Georgia had been ruled out of the remainder of The Hundred due to a groin injury, but was able to recover in time and be selected for the ODIs against India and the World Cup, set to start on September 30. She will be expected to shoulder spin-bowling duties with fellow leg-spinner Alana King and off-spin bowling all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner.
“It's been a little bit different given I was in England for the Hundred and then sort of came home early. But I mean, it's really hard. We can't really replicate a lot of the conditions that we're going to get over there in Australia. So I think just getting as much games as we can and trying to keep ourselves as fresh as we can for what's going to be a pretty long stint as ODI World Cups are.”
