India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has indicated that Women's Asia Cup beginning in Sylhet, Bagladesh on Saturday will be a lot about giving game time to the less experienced players as the team prepares for the T20 World Cup early next year.
The likes of D. Hemalatha and Kiran Navgire were tried out in the preceding series in England but could not make an impact. Jemimah Rodrigues has recovered from a wrist injury that ruled her out of England series and is expected to play as opener against Sri Lanka on Saturday.
Opener Shafali Verma is another one under the scanner following a dismal run in England. The team however goes into the tournament high on confidence having beaten England 3-0 in the ODIs.
