MUMBAI: Phoebe Litchfield, considered as the next big thing in Australian women's cricket, is hoping that time spent with the much-accomplished left-hander Smriti Mandhana during the WBBL will come in handy on her maiden tour of India.
Both Litchfield, 19, and Mandhana played for Sydney Thunder in the 2021-22 WBBL season and the uncapped Australian got to learn a lot from one of the finest batters in the women's game.
