BANGALORE, India (AP) — India's women's cricket team leaves for a tour of England on Friday hoping to claim a share of the limelight the men's team is so used to dominating.
A World Cup victory earlier this year was a major accomplishment for the men's team, which will now strive to retain its top test ranking with series in the West Indies and England.
Amid the busy men's calendar, the women's team will feature in two four-team limited-overs tournaments in England starting next week.
Captain Jhulan Goswami says "it is important to do well abroad" in order to raise the profile of the team, which will play in a Twenty20 tournament from June 23 to 27, and a one-day tournament from June 30 to July 27.
Women's teams from Australia, New Zealand and England will also compete in the tournaments.
