The Indian women’s cricket team is set to compete in an ODI tri-series for the first time in nearly 23 years (barring Asia Cup) through the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. Currently engaged in a WPL season at home, Harmanpreet Kaur’s Indian drawcards are scheduled to fly to Sri Lanka in April to play an ODI tri-series, where South Africa will serve as the third competitor.

Under the leadership of Mithali Raj, Team India won that quadrangular series by pipping South Africa in a one-sided final at Potchefstroom.
