India women`s cricket team skipper Harmanpreet Kaur discussed the excitement and challenges ahead of a home season featuring two Tests, saying that lack of red-ball fixtures over the years have left the team with a challenge to prepare themselves in a short period of time.

Test cricket will feature for the first time in India women`s home season since 2014 when they take on England and Australia. In 2014, they defeated South Africa by an innings and 34 runs in Mysore.
