NEW DELHI: The Indian women’s team has completed a 10-day preparatory camp at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, with a focus on preparing well for the upcoming Women’s ODI World Cup, set to start from September 30 to November 2. As per visuals posted by the BCCI on its social media accounts, the camp focused on strength and conditioning drills along with match simulations and essential skill-related practices. The Indian team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, also took part in intensive practice sessions and played a series of practice matches under the supervision of head coach Amol Muzumdar.
“The Indian Women’s Team completed a 10-day World Cup preparatory camp at the BCCI Centre of Excellence, focusing on specific strength and conditioning activities along with match simulations. The camp aimed to enhance fitness levels, fine-tune skills, and prepare the squad for the challenges ahead,” wrote the BCCI on its ‘X’ account on August 14.
As part of their build-up to the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, India will host Australia for a three-match ODI series starting September 14. The three-game series was originally set to happen in Chennai. But the revamping of the outfield and pitches at the MA Chidambaram Stadium meant it had to be moved out. The first two ODIs will now take place at the New PCA stadium in New Chandigarh on September 14 and 17, respectively, before the series-ending game is played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on September 20.
While this will be the first time that the New Chandigarh will host women’s international cricket, New Delhi will be back to hosting women’s ODI cricket after last doing so in 1985 and 1995, respectively.
