India Women To Tour Australia In September
“We have got a tour against India in mid-September. So, there’s a couple of camps. I believe we are doing one in Darwin, which will be really cool… and then the tour against India. And then pretty much from there things get crazy with Big Bash, WNCL, Ashes, World Cup, and hopefully the Commonwealth Games” Schutt said on No Balls: The Cricket Podcast, hosted by Kate Cross and Alex Hartley.
