The Australian women's cricket team are all set to play India in a five-match T20I bi-lateral series in Mumbai, with the first match scheduled for Saturday.
The tour marks the side's first time playing in subcontinent conditions in more than four years, meaning some of their youngest players – like Annabel Sutherland and Darcie Brown – have never experienced them before.
For Alana King, however, the chance to travel back to India means another chance to connect with her roots, considering her parents Leroy and Sharon King originally hail from Chennai. Once married, the couple emigrated to Melbourne in the 1980s, where King and her brother Marc were born.
