Teen sensation Shafali Verma is set to make her much anticipated One Day International debut as India gear up for much-needed course-correction in the format against reigning world champions England.
India, who lost to England in the final of the 2017 World Cup, take on Heather Knight and Co in the first game of the three-match series in Bristol on Sunday.
The last time India played an ODI series, they were soundly beaten 4-1 by South Africa at home. Then, Mithali Raj and Co were playing their first international match in a year and an ODI series after nearly 15 months, and there was a lot to learn from that debacle.
The lessons have to be learnt quickly though, as the delayed ODI World Cup starts in eight months in New Zealand and a series in England is crucial preparation.
