Indian women’s team captain Harmanpreet Kaur on Friday said a long rope will be given to the players selected for the ongoing series against England as well as the three-match affair against Australia at home, keeping in mind next year’s T20 World Cup.

The Indian women have a busy month ahead as they will play two more T20Is and a one-off Test against England, followed by a one-off Test, three ODIs and as many T20Is against Australia. While acknowledging that spin bowling is India’s biggest strength, Harmanpreet said the team will look to give more opportunities to new players in the upcoming matches.
